| BOHEMIAN 72 FLOOR LAMP |
| Gabriella Crespi |
| To describe Crespi’s floor lamp as “a lamp unlike any other” would hardly do it justice— encased entirely in rattan strips, this design is the pinnacle of Crespi’s creativity and ingenuity. An entirely unexpected take on a lantern, the pattern of the strips allows the lamp to cast a delicate play of light, inspiring an atmosphere of rustic warmth. Bohemian 72 can be placed both indoors and out. |

The Nagoya has a quiet architectural presence that adds a serene light to its surroundings. |
