My house would be at least 1000 times more fabulous if I had one of these Uovo Black Pearl chandeliers hanging in it. Wouldn’t yours?
As uovo is Italian for “egg,” the egg-shaped attributes of this gorgeous chandelier are made using glass-blowing techniques and then finished in either gold or silver.
The Uovo Black Pearl is made by glass company Lasvit in collaboration with designer Rony Plesi.
What do you think of the Uovo?

Imagine a chair made from mother of pearl. Korean designer Samwoong Lee did, and the beautifully unique Octopus Chair is the result. Named Octopus because its shape looks different depending on your angle of sight, this chair is sure to keep you captivated.
Mother of pearl is really an interesting choice, both in that it’s an unusual choice for a chair and because of its reflective quality. Natural mother of pearl never has the same color and pattern, and its reflexivity is changed by the angle. It gives this chair a natural, yet at the same time futuristic feel doesn’t it?
