Chen Lu, Dream Lantern

Chen Lu's Dream Lantern is the result of research into curiosity objects of the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, such as magic lanterns. The four decorative shades are inspired by different elements in the famous life of escaped convict Mary Bryant. The light is completely mobile and can be hung as a pendant or used as a table lantern.
