Let there be lights!
We’ve been getting tons of new stuff in lately, from super new items by Yellow Owl Workshop to old favorites like Umbra and Field Notes. We’re especially excited about the brand new lamps that just arrived in the store. Tesselight Lamps are made by Somerville’s very own Christine Hamilton. While the picture below gives a pretty good idea of how amazing they are, they’re even more amazing up close and in person!
The name Tesselight is derived from the word “tessellation,” a term for the type of pattern created by the repetition of geometric shapes. Tesselights are entirely handcrafted, made by cutting and folding Canson Mi-Tientes drawing paper into tiles that are then sewn together using crochet thread. Though delicate in appearance, Tesselights are sturdy and will last a lifetime when well cared for. They can be used with both portable cord kits and hardwire pendants.
Also, stay tuned because we have a bunch of super exciting events coming up in August involving some of our favorite things (and yours too, we’re betting)!
