Break the Cycle 2017
Local interior designers help local nonprofit, New Door Ventures, raise funds in a unique charity auction event.

This modern floor lamp emits a glow both from the resin base and its cantilevered steel arm. With a unique play on solid and void, transparency and textures, a bike sits somewhere amidst the glowing base. Where is it?
