Galiano by Propellor Design. Galiano [named after the beautiful B.C. island] evokes thoughts of one of my favourite Dutch studios, Droog Design, who are known for injecting elements of humour into their work. The Propellor collective have made Galiano eco.friendly by using recycled electrical components, making the shade from reclaimed Douglas Fir wood, finishing it with a natural walnut oil, and the most clever part — using a wind-downed arbutus twig as the light’s pull. Forget your Clappers, people [do they still exist?]. Seriously, I’m getting a twig. Besides, I mentioned that forest accessories are hot now, right?
