Handmade Paper Lanterns from the HiiH Gallery

HiiH Paper LanternsSpring fever has officially hit me. I love walking around Boston and seeing the little flowers poking their heads out of the dirt and the little green buds on all of the trees. The bitter cold has made way for milder temperatures and the Swan Boats are out in full force, floating around their home in the Public Garden.

In honor of spring I thought I'd share these really cool paper lanterns that I found while perusing Apartment Therapy this morning. They come to us from the Portland-based HiiH (pronounced "Hi Hi") Gallery and they are all handmade! Exquisite! Made from all natural materials, including beeswax and walnut dye, these gems are also inspired by nature - mostly marine and plant life.

Modern Outdoor Lighting by Gaspard

Lalune by GaspardI don't know about you guys, but I just never can keep a plant alive for more than a couple of months. I water them, I put them in a pretty little pot, I give them plenty of sunshine. It doesn't seem to matter! They always die. It's sad, really. This is partially what scares me about this new outdoor lighting line, Lalune, designed by Gaspard.

Live Spanish moss over a simple black metal frame, that's seemingly all there is to this lamp! Part of Plato's Oasis Collection, a series of outdoor furniture that combines live plants, wood and metal to create some visually interesting concepts.
