"fun" lighting from verpan

i wanted to share this "fun" lighting line from verpan today. it's completely dreamy and decadent in so many ways...

verpan offers up these "fun" lights in a variety of sizes, shapes and widths made from natural pearl seashells and small stainless steel rings and chains. watch a short video here about these lights and the tranquil sounds they make in a light breeze. like i said, dreamy and decadent, and pretty WOW in their presence right? enjoy...
