When it comes to modern interiors there can be a tendency to accumulate a variety of structured and muted pieces making your spaces appear sterile and vacant. I like Jed Crystal’s Minimal Lamp to help break up the monotony. It takes modern in a more organic direction by accenting the sparse lighted core with a bulky knit shade. These can be hung in a variety of ways to make almost sculptural arrangements.
