Designer Arik Levy has added new lighting to his collection for Delta Light which explores 'folded shade,' a concept inspired by the shapes of the natural world, namely, mushrooms.
The garden-centric outdoor lighting can be wrapped around tree trunks, or planted into the ground around seating areas. Their appearance is designed to look accidental, propping themselves up in a seemingly random manner, which best resembles the natural growth of mushrooms.
Some of the lights in the unique collection include an outdoor chandelier, and a cluster of small, planted lights designed to surround the base of a tree. All of the designs look like folded paper, and provide light while remaining calming, subtle and muted.
