The intricate fantastical creations of Dutch designer/artist Tord Boontje are regular features on TrendHunter.com. The latest line for Artecnica, the Future Flora Pendant, is nothing short of incredible.
Considering the metal webbed designs come packed flat and then are re-assembled is a testament to the practical nature of the lighting’s design, while still managing to retaining its light and delicate aesthetic. The lights emulate floral shapes and the effect of blooms and vines hanging from them. Also shown are Boontje’s Garland and Icarus light fixtures.
