Dutch design studio Brand van Egmond intended for its
La Vie en Rose lighting collection (
www.brandvanegmond.nl) to instill the feeling of being showered by roses after performing at the opera. Created for a sculptural installation, the dramatic designs became part of the 20-year-old company’s permanent line last April. Brand van Egmond offers La Vie en Rose as a "flexible system," in which the illuminated roses and bouquets can hang individually or as a group ($4,300 as shown at left). Crafted from iron with nickel, white, or black finishes, the pieces can also be dressed up with Swarovski crystals.
