Collyn loves this… Because cupid’s arrow has struck. Ingo Maurer, the German, contemporary lighting design hero, began this now iconic collection in 1992 with Birds Birds Birds, a chandelier of dove-winged bulbs, only to build on the piece’s success with the subsequent Birdie lamp, Birdie’s Nest and the single-bulbed Lucellino wall and desk lamps. The collection’s enduring strength comes from its balance of folk quirkiness and its elegant form. Every wing is hand-crafted from goose feathers; delicate and serene, they seem to duck and dive like a flock of swallows, caught in a mid-air takeoff, proving there’s far more to angel’s wings than Victoria’s Secret could ever imagine.
