We love…

…this collection of lights by the American designer Lindsey Adelman. Capturing a luxurious spirit of nomadic wandering, this new collection titled Paradise creates a feeling of indulgent spontaneity. Meticulously crafted elements are swagged, pierced, and illuminated to generate an unexpected clash of couture and punk. With Paradise, Adelman brings her ethereal approach to lighting at ALCOVA, Salone del Mobile, introducing yet another boundary-challenging collection.

THE BROKEN EGG BY INGO MAURER
An art piece by Ingo Maurer, a Munich based designer, The Broken Egg was based on the concept of seemingly jovial structures to be built in the art park in Inhotim, Brazil. The egg’s natural geometries create an incredible interior auditorium space while an organic fissure runs across the curved roof and wall, letting in only a sliver of light that reveals the volumetric expanse of interior space, drawing a powerful ray of light to the exterior from the activity inside.
