And Then There Was Light

Winter got you down? It's cold and gloomy, the sun sets early and all you need is some extra light in your life. What if that light was coming from a beautiful pendant, or a georgous chandelier? It would make you feel a lot better right? Good thing Koo is here to help you find the perfect glimmer of light that will fit any price and style! This week we have focused our attention on a brighter subject, lighting! We have curated some of the most beautiful and daring pieces you can put in your home. 

Roost Pendants by Birch & Willow

 

This hand-made pendant is made with hand hammered copper coil. Twigs, grapevines, bittersweet vines, hand-dyed basket weaving reed all make up this beautiful glowing piece of art. 

Silva by Cerno Group

 

Cerno collaborated with fashion designer 
Jesse Kamm on a set of limited edition 
shades for their Silva lamps. They are fun and stylish and a must see! 

Weber by David Tonnesen

 

This oxidized and blackened steel pendant will be the centerpiece of any home. David Tonnesen works so delecately and loveingly with his pieces and the craftsmanship really shows! 

Orb (Tamago Light) by Hiro Odaira

 

This is a revolutionary three dimensional Washi parchment lamp without any frames or supports. The way it glows, is magical. This lamp would be a breathtaking accent piece in any space.

Infilio by Marco Goffi

 

The lamp wants to investigate the
 double life of a lighting equipment:
 during the day, when the leading 
actor is a thin sheet of ‘wood’ and
 during the night, when the 
suggestion of the light combined
 with its shadows create the real
 atmosphere. The wood support 
and the cuts made on its nature -
the veins – permit to discover the 
real attitude of the item becoming
 a code and designing the light.
 The LED lighting system is the
 source, the transparent PMMA 
cylinder is the core of the light, the
 wood veneering is the soul of an
 icon: the lantern.

Triple-Rail Chandelier by Michael HcHale

 

The Triple-Rail Chandelier is undoubtedly the most ambitious McHale Chandelier to date.
Its design is both simple – three rails and a crossbar – and richly complex.  The largest of all McHale Chandeliers, the Triple-Rail can be made from 42” up to 78” long (width is 22”).
The Triple-Rail takes on different characteristics at different angles and at different times during the day.
Its simultaneous displays of simplicity and opulence ensure that the Triple-Rail is destined to become a design classic of the early 21st Century.

No. 37 by Peter Bynum

The multi-panel paintings allow light to filter through front to back and vice versa, with shadowy forms appearing even in the areas where paint blocks the light. These three-dimensional paintings full of color and light are such that one cannot discern what comes first in the process; there appears to be a seamless flow. They embody the concept of the evanescent world of fleeting beauty called ukiyo in Japanese art, translated as “floating world.” Yet, the visual impact of the paintings— the physical depth and actual light passing through the painted surface— yields something new. Bynum was taking painting, which has traditionally involved adding layers of paint to articulate the opaque surface of a canvas, in a new direction.

These exhibitors have showed us and hopefully you a lighter side to Koo, and for that we thank them!
