Designer "Tear Sheet" Thursday

This week's designer tear sheet is a pair of chrome lanterns from the Winsor Collection from Riado and available to the trade at Taylor's on Ten in the Dallas World Trade Center. I love the sleek, rectangular shape in highly polished chrome juxtaposed to the chunky leather handle.
Available in two sizes, they look great together or can certainly stand alone.  

But lanterns are not new.  We know they were carried around in the middle ages, so how difficult is it to bring something fresh to this ancient accessory?

Made to look old, these classic lanterns make a statement when grouped together.

Traditional shapes, colonial or French renaissance, continue to be a popular choice for pendants and chandeliers.

Contemporary designers have streamlined the lantern shape making this classic fit well into more transitional spaces.  Whether candle-lit or electrified they bring a beautiful ambiance to every space they grace.

And even if you get creative and make your own, lanterns bring a great style wherever you decide to hang them!
