Rattan furniture and accessories are well known for their ability to make a home warmer and more welcoming by bringing in some details and natural elements. More over, the most of such things are hand made. Océane Delain and Béatrice Durandard presented this excellent AURA lamp on the European ADREAM contest and took the first prize. They used solely eco friendly, natural materials and leds, making this lamp very energy efficient too. We especially loved the way the AURA looks when mounted to the wall – this way it’s obvious where the name comes from. It’s currently being produced in the limited series and sold at a fair price.
