Looking to the striking Invisible House for inspiration, we round up the luxury lighting sure to elevate any home

Words Sjaan Askwith | 6 Sep 2024

With a fully mirrored exterior that seemingly disappears into the surrounding desert landscape, Invisible House in California’s Joshua Tree sits as a striking exploration of contrast — the sharp, angular structure offset by a minimalist interior palette and careful curation of iconic furniture, art, and lighting.

The homeowners looked to Flos to illuminate the space, seeking the brand’s minimalist yet contemporary aesthetic to mirror that of the house. Minimal and monolithic lights illuminate the firepit, while iconic pieces, such as the Aim Pendant give spaces a design-led edge.

Whether it’s an extravagant bouquet for a birthd

Whether it’s an extravagant bouquet for a birthday celebration, a beautiful vase filled with dried florals sitting pretty on the kitchen bench or just a bunch to say I love you (or l’m sorry), there’s no denying the feeling one gets when giving and receiving flowers.

Each gesture impossible without the skill and unique vision each florist has (and let’s not forget their speedy delivery services and a knack for card-writing for those missed milestones). These are the creatives who we rely upon for celebrations and making people feel special, who now more than ever, need exactly that - to be celebrated.

Head to our link in bio now to vote for your favourite florists and many more.
