THE HANGING GARDEN
Suspended lamp with a geometric and architectural structure.
Inspired by the atmosphere of Marguerite Duras’s novels in Indochina and Vietnamese umbrellas and conicals hats.
It plays with the contrast of wood and leather, round shape or folding for a balance and harmony game. This lamp is a travel and daydream invitation.
