Nestled in a corner of the Salone Satellite area of the Salone del Mobile in Milan were exquisite chandeliers with strong sculptural shapes and a delicate demeanour. These are the works of Dutch designer Susanne de Graef, who constructed the lights using metal rings connected with coloured threads in different colours. The threads sway and glimmer in the wind, creating an ethereal light which belies the strong presence of the chandelier.

The necklaces from Eleanor Bolton are crafted using hand-dyed cords, creating delicate and tactile jewellery with a strong sculptural quality.
