Hand crafted lighting design ~ table and floor lamps. Natural materials & luscious handmade papers to create contemporary colorful lamps for the home. In a world of mass production, a well-designed handmade object has intrinsic value. Enjoy the spirit of nature illuminated in your home with a custom crafted lamp from Luminosa Lighting. I choose to work with natural materials to create my line of table, floor and wall lighting because those elements truly inspire me. In order to diversify my design collections I source lush color and fibrous handmade papers from around the world as well as selected fabrics. Inspired by brilliant autumn foliage in Western North Carolina, I collect and create original surface patterns for my printed collection of shade designs. In this way the vivid colors are captured and printed onto a material made to be illuminated. My goal is to create contemporary lighting that honors the natural world, translating that spirit and warmth into a poetic expression of light and form.
