The Milan Design Week 2013 goodies keep rolling in and this may be one of my favorites yet. Flow(t), designed by Nao Tamura, is a contemporary chandelier composed of blown glass lights bearing shapes reminiscent of nautical buoys. The designer describes her inspiration for the light as follows, “The reflections of the Venetian cityscape glistening on the evening water hints at an imaginary city below the moving surface. There is a border between the world under and the land above. In the city of Venice, where the real world and fantasy coexists, this chandelier is the embodiment of the beauty of dual worlds.”
