{ridiculously beautiful furniture}

{Mesa gerencia Paralelas}

Recently came across the
Tresserra Collection, a line of astonishingly beautiful and incredibly well-crafted furniture by designer Jaume Tresserra, whose commitment to hand craftsmanship and the use of high quality materials has resulted in pieces that are not only extremely functional, but also lovely to look at--a combination that is becoming increasingly rare these days.

{heavenly spheres}

With little gold petals that cast magical (and romantic) shadows, the gold version of the Orten'zia suspended lamp is such a work of art, you almost forget it's a light fixture. Designed by Bruno Rainaldi for Terzani, tiny metal petals are hand-soldered to make up spheres that are then finished in gold-plate.
{Total height suspension: 190 cm max, diameters from 50 to 70 cm; the Orten'zia is also available in table and floor versions. }
