“I’m very inspired by the beauty and intricacy of plants and flowers and love to make botanical studies by drawing with light and shadow. I enjoy walking in our beautiful countryside with my camera and collecting ideas and I’m lucky to have a fantastic flower shop close to home which is a feast for the senses and keeps me in ideas!”

For Hannah Nunn, a normal work day involves sketching flowers and strolling through woodlands. It’s here that she draws inspiration for her delicate lamps. Using a laser cutter or Japanese screw punch, Nunn carefully incises thin parchment to create intricate thistle, parsley, or budding flowers. She then laminates the paper, fastens with clips, and inserts a lightbulb tripod. The end result is a spectacular display of light and shadow—an illuminated meadow brought to the inside of your home.
