LIGHTING THE WAY

East and West fuse together in the New Old Light series, a collection of pendant and tabletop lamps by Taipeibased Kimu Design Studio. Its three founders—Alex Yeh, Kelly Lin, and Ketty Shih— have taken the ubiquitous shape of modern industrial lights and combined it with traditional Chinese paper lanterns. The paper component can be pulled down or tucked away in the aluminum or copper lampshade, creating a versatile lamp that will suit a whole range of interior styles ( kimushoptw.com).
