It’s all about Coral which is “a range of lights with a uniquely shaped modular element which is reminiscent of a branch of coral.” A burst of aquatic wonder, the standing lamp is constructed of matte lacquered metal and injection-molded polycarbonate with a lampshade of 120 branches. The complex detail of networks is particularly captivating. And the colors will get you stunned: white with luminous orange, reddish ivory or black gray with ivory.

Design by Pallucco | Available at Lepere.

The glass-filled Master Bedroom is of soft colors featuring dark wood accents and touches of soft greens here. The views from the custom bed are something you’d think you were dreaming, couldn’t imagine waking up to that.
