Want to add some drama to a living room? How about a statement pendant? In their online feature this week, Dering Hall includes one of our designs incorporating the "Hope" fixture by Luceplan through Lightology. Designed by Francisco Gomez Paz Studio and Paolo Rizzatto, the fixture adds sparkle and focus to the room. Dering Hall calls it "inspirational."
