The 22″ Poinsettia shade depicts a cluster of plants bursting forth through a formal trellis. A variety of reds tinged with blue, purple, and yellow were blended together for the plants.

We recently shipped a Small Stick and Twisted Vine base, each going to clients on a different coast. A pair of Twisted Vine w/Arms left the studio on Friday en route to…
