Designers have been searching the cosmos for inspiration—with heavenly results.
Celestial Modern Lighting
As seen at Milan Design Week, stars, orbs and other-worldly motifs are permeating the interior design cosmos, visible on everything from wallpaper to decorative objects. Celestial-inspired lighting, not surprisingly, has yielded some of the most inspired modern designs, tailor-made for planetary possibilities. The Constellation Cassiopeia Wall/Ceiling Light above, is a case in point, its golden-hued configuration allowing onlookers to feel as if they are staring up into the night sky. The Vibia Cosmos Moon Cluster Pendant makes a more abstract—but no less ethereal—statement, while the Trsyt Stem Hung Pendant Light bursts with golden radiance from any ceiling.
Celestial Home Decor
From the trade shows of Milan to the workshops of Copenhagen, modern home decor is replete with celestial reminders. Jonathan Adler leads the way with a whole collection of lunar and planetary-inspired tabletop items, ranging from the Vodka Rocket Decanter, above, to the ethereal beauty of the Sputnik Chandelier, a far-out beauty crafted in brass and crystal. The Kartell Moon Bowl, an acrylic container in a variety of colors, is equally striking as art object or serving bowl, and Nanimarquina's Luna Rug is an unmistakable reminder of the moon's radiance.
Celestial Kids Designs
Celestial motifs are kids' room staples, and no wonder. Few things can match the enchantment and mystery of outer space, and designers haven't missed a beat in applying a constellation of heavenly motifs to children's room decor. The Stars Washable Rug, with its playful star motif, makes a magical addition to nursery or kid's room, destined to keep little ones mesmerized for years to come. Ferm Living's soft and tactile Star Music Mobile, is a divine treat for both little hands and ears, while Lorena Canals Galaxy Wall Hanging above, will have your little one shooting for the stars.
