Lucky Lantern, Seagrass
Overview
For this design, we took inspiration from the Eastern styles prevalent in the Aesthetic Movement, as referenced by the Geffrye Museum’s 1890 drawing room.
Lucky Lantern features tasseled Chinese lanterns, decorated with pine, plum and bamboo - known as Suihan Sanyou, or the Three Friends of Winter. These three symbols - 松竹梅 (sōng zhú méi) - are revered in Eastern culture, as they flourish in cold weather, and therefore symbolize strength in adversity.
