Starlightz by Earth Friendly @ Artecnica and various international retailers.
I’ve gone star-crazy at the sight of these eco.friendly beauties, so please bear with me while I post a gazillion of them for you to enjoy. Of course, I just had to start off by showing you the black one — it’s so bold and dramatic.
You may have seen various knock offs of these lighting fixtures around the globe, but apparently, these are the “original” Starlightz by Earth Friendly, which are available at L.A.’s Artecnica and several international retailers. Starlightz is yet another eco.chic line carried by Artecnica, who are hosting their Design With A Conscience exhibit at the New York International Gift Fair this week.
Each of these eco.super.stars is made from 100% wood-free and chlor-free bleached paper, in addition to being completely handcrafted — printed, punched and glued by hand. The Earth Friendly folks add that the handmade paper is a merging of “cotton fibres and flower petals, combined with manual silkscreen printing.”

The black and white trend is still hot in home decor this year and thanks to its versatility and classic appeal, will probably be around for a long while. I love the way they’ve combined ethnic prints with modern ones here. The groupings are successful because they’re sticking with the same geometric shapes and colours.

This black, white and gold combination is crisp and elegant and would work well in a variety of settings.

My marathon of cosmic eye candy continues with this bindi design in a bright turquoise. The skillfully designed cutouts are all done by hand using wood-free and chlor-free bleached paper.

The maharaja design is gorgeous and instantly adds a touch of exotic flair to any room.

This mono blue design is bold and really makes a statement. The filigree pattern is really appreciated when set against a monochromatic backgound like this one. It’s also available in red, orange, yellow and pink…. but I love the regal blue. I could see this working really well in a fresh room with a Nantucket/Cape Cod scheme.

These eco.stars look amazing against a bold blue background. Imagine all of the possibilities…
