Who wouldn’t love to have a stone house in the country with climbing roses and charming interiors? There is something incredibly charming and enduring about English country style, and this house in the Cotswolds designed by Joana Wood is entirely English but with a contemporary twist. On this more contemporary version of English country house style, we can find more solid fabrics instead of chintz, bare tables instead of draped ones and exposed furniture legs instead of skirted upholstery yet it still feels classic and livable.
In this entryway, the vertigo pendant lamp seems to welcome guests.
Every so often comes the case when a designer creates a classic. Vertigo Pendant by Constance Guisset is one of those and it appears to have been around for a longer time. It’s the kind of sculptural lighting that recalls a timeless style although it is a new design. Its lines are visually strong, feel subtle and organic and I can only imagine how beautiful reflections it
creates on the walls and ceiling when lit up night time. The pendant supposedly moves when the breeze touches it conveying a sense of freedom and rhythm. This is the kind of lighting fixture that can seamlessly be incorporated in any kind of style, however I’ve
noticed the it looks more cohesive when paired with furniture of neutral colors and pale walls. Better yet if the walls have some molding on them. The Vertigo Pendant
which is very light weigh, comes in two different sizes and in different finishing, has slowly become an Interior Designer favorite. I like it more when it’s fixed to the ceiling rather
than hanging giving the pendant the appearance of an upside down hat. A bit poetic, a bit fun, a bit young. In Europe you can buy it at Petite Friture. In the US it is available at MoMa, 1stdibs and Finishing Design Shop.
