Artist Andreea Avram Rusu Unveils Botanica Spiral
Artist and designer Andreea Avram Rusu explores sculptural concepts through her elegant lighting, furniture, and objects. This fall, at the Collectible design fair in New York, the Brooklyn-based talent unveiled Botanica Spiral, a new black-and-white iteration of her existing series inspired by banana flowers and the botanical gardens of Lisbon, Portugal. The dimmable LED chandelier balances a dramatically scaled bloom with a cascading chain of handblown-glass leaves, suspended from either end of a leather-clad arc; swirly decorative patterning enhances the hypnotic effect. Botanica Spiral is available in custom colors and configurations plus a two-petal sconce model. avramrusu.com
