New in the Showroom: Link

Today we are featuring a fixture that we have recently (re) added to our showroom! Link by LZF was in our showroom for awhile before being claimed by a client…. we missed it so much that we’ve decided to reacquire it.

Link is composed of thin strips of wood veneer twisted and piled into an elegant form. The light source shines through the veneer, which creates a warm and inviting glow. Link is available in nine different colors, and multiple sizes and variations. Take a look:
