Flights of Fancy: 5 Avian-Inspired Lights

December 5, 2013

Add a whimsical note to an interior with an avian-inspired light; here are five we are currently coveting.

Above: Hard to resist: the Alouette Collection of avian-inspired lighting from Atelier Areti, a team of far-flung European designers who work collaboratively. The pieces are handmade from powder-coated metal and fabric-covered cable with brass joints. The Alouette 1 Bird Wall Lamp is newly available in the US via Camerich Los Angeles for $665 in black with brass detailing, as shown, or in all black or all white for $545. The showroom’s website is pending; in the meantime, email [email protected] or call 310-881-6199. N.B.: the light is also available from European online sources, including I/Object, who sells the Alouette Bird Wall Lamp in white with brass for 320.
