The Bohemian Goddess

Free thinking and artistic! You gravitate toward beauty in nature and all that is natural.

This style has few permanent ties and is open to new experiences. So named for its art deco tendencies, it emphasizes strong geometric lines, yet its magic comes from the hand-wrapped jute woven around the frame in a layered, ziggurat shape.

The Queen of Vintage

Old-school, yet badass! You find comfort in all things tried-and-true.

This classic silhouette balances opal glass globes against an antique brass foundation. The traditional sputnik design is more organic than geometric in form. It’s a subtly sophisticated and strikingly stylish foundation piece for a modern design scheme. Retro redefined!
