LED there be light: brighten your home with these illuminating tips from lighting guru Michael Anastassiades – Designer of the Year 2020 at Maison & Objet in Paris
From pedestal lamps to pendant bulbs, there are several ways to change up and enhance your living space with lighting features, says Maison & Objet’s 2020 designer of the year, Michael Anastassiades
