Tri.Flor by Fruitsuper Design is a floor lamp with a large room presence and a small shipping footprint.

Dia by Trey Jones Studio was inspired by the skewed shadows cast by light coming through a window. The polished brass interior gives off a sunny glow while the patina on the exterior is warm and textural.

Strung by Grain of Bainbridge Island, WA takes inspiration from paper pendants and cafe lighting but plays with the contrast between interior and exterior environments.
