Fruit Design – Cherries Lapm by Nika Zupanc

Do you like juicy cherries? Nika Zupanc created a beautiful collection of lamps, which resembles a cherry, so it was called Cherries Lamp. Ordinary and extraordinary at the same time, the lamps are made of glass and fasten on a metal tube. Due to their shape, cherries will look great in modern dining rooms or kitchens. You can choose among one, two or three "cherries" on the "branch". The range of colors is very rich and lamps are presented in bright, unexpected colors. No doubt, these items will enliven your interior, but frankly speaking I’m not sure of lighting quality.
