"Intro to the Classics"
Interior designers choose always-in-style lights
What makes a lamp or lighting fixture a classic? How do designers go about finding those classic lamps or fixtures? What do they look for when shopping for classic lighting,
and how do they use it when they find it?
"One of my favorite things about this chic, whimsical living room I designed for young friends of mine is the large glowing orb that dominates the room. This Akari paper lantern by Isamu Noguchi,
first made in the 1950s, crease a soft sculptural feeling without being massive. It has a universal appeal, recalling the sun or the moon, and it practically floats in the room." - Markham Roberts
