Midweek Covet: Lighting by Christopher Boots

Prometheus by Christopher Boots

Maybe some day I'll choose to surround myself with gilded antiques; that kind of predilection seems to come with age. For now, though, modern elegance is more my speed, which is why Christopher Boots' chandeliers are so appealing.

Incorporating quartz crystals and warm LED bulbs, Boots' Prometheus, Prometheus III and Diamond Ring are formal chandeliers that eschew the fussiness, a cheeky answer to the cut crystal of generations past. They are also among the first purchases I'll make when I earn my millions and build my own Barbie dream house. 'Cause I hear that happens to writers all the time...

Boots is based in Victoria, Australia, but his designs are available stateside for a pretty penny at THE NWBLCK.
