Favourite District product story

This might be my favourite product story. Giopato & Coombes Maehwa began with a spring trip to Seoul, when the plum blossoms were just starting to bloom. Quiet, delicate and hard to forget. Now it’s handblown glass and branching brass arms, like that moment, held in place. It’s not just a light. It softens the space and shifts the mood gently. And somehow, it stays with you.
