Designer Focus: Kelly Wearstler
We are so thrilled to be offering the most exquisite collection of lights by the wonderfully talented Kelly Wearstler. Her works are simply breathtaking. She has a knack for fusing a mix of materials to create stunningly creative, yet functional pieces, with her aesthetic now synonymous with modern Californian luxury.
Her designs, epitomised by a colourful mélange of materials, merge important historical reference points with contemporary influences. The harmony of masculine and feminine, classic and contemporary, high and low, is integral to the brand’s maverick sense of eclecticism and fearless, iconic style.
A lot of Kelly Wearstler’s collection make up our favourites. And as serendipity would have it, she even has a collection of lights named Cleo, which for those who know us, has very special meaning indeed.
