A round-up of our weekly style finds…
THREE’S A CHARM
If you picture yourself living in a light-soaked loft with sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows and cityscape views, fully decked out in hip urban furniture, then you and Loft Living should become good friends.
This industrial, minimal 3 Light Hanging Lamp from Loft Living would look pretty darn good in a high-ceilinged penthouse. Or in my humble city apartment too.
Loft Living combines locally manufactured furniture with hand-picked treasures designed to suit a sophisticated interior scheme. The eclectic mix of materials, styles and colour make it an online compendium to return to again and again.
