About The Product:
The petal lamp captures a delicate moment; when a wilted petal slowly retracts from the main body of the flower. The temporary nature of the action is preserved in time with paper and steel. Repositioning of the petal shaped shade grants authority over the type of light cast, allowing the user to dictate the behavior of the light. The petal acts as a bounce similar to that of a photographer’s toolkit. Gentle sweeping shadows paint the surrounding space with arrays of ambient, gentle light. The delicacy of the fixture makes it well suited for domestic and residential environments
