AS WINTER GIVES WAY to spring, it’s only natural to invite elements from the year’s most refreshing season into your home. Although garden-fresh bouquets are sure to delight, their beauty is ephemeral. Instead, perhaps opt for a fl ower with more permanence, like lighting designer Julie Neill’s interpretation of a Hakuun tulip.

The Alberto series, inspired by the whimsy of Swiss artist Diego Giacometti, features a sculptural fl ower motif in a myriad of fi xtures and designs. Striking the perfect balance of modernity and organic form, the Alberto series adds a touch of playfulness to any space.

“I think this piece appeals to so many people because of the juxtaposition of its simple geometric form and the organic beauty of the sculpted fl owers,” Neill says. “It’s lighthearted and pretty, and the white plaster fi nish is so fresh and modern. It’s a great way to always have a bit of springtime and nature in your space.”
