London-based designer Kiko Kostadinoc was born in Bulgaria and is known for his subversive approach to design -- his latest work highlights the Naeko collection. This was done by iconic Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama for Paradisoterrestre's catalog that launched during Milan Design Week.
Now, the interpreted collection highlights the iconic Naeko lamp, which was designed in 1984 and originally for Dino Gavine. It boasts a structural shape that stems out of the ceiling with no separation. The overarching brutalist theme continues to the white chandelier as well, adorned with the addition of bright graphics of blue, green, and orange in a checkerboard pattern. The collection continues with cubist furniture that is done in wooden construction for a mid-century theme in bright tones of green, sea-blue, and fuchsia.
