Atelier Kit Wu-Bylett, brings you the latest in glow-up currency from the cosmetic cosmos with the release of the fireflower lantern series. Embellish the airspace above your chaise longue, sultrify your sleep sanctuary, secure a droplet of vanity over your clawfoot bath. And realise, now, what you want to touch, to hold, to objectify.

Informed by traditional Chinese lanterncraft, these bodies are hand~coiled ~webbed ~woven ~dressed ~fastened and ~emblazoned with vital life force 火花 (fo2 faa1). Feel the angelic suspension of these Qi-orbs in full bloom.

The reviews are saturating in good reputation ~ “Move over, Noguchi, fireflower is truly the eternal flame of an aesthetic afterlife” ~ “Bitter flower nectar has never smelled so sweet” ~ “Peelings, pith, and skin. It is citric glamour… and more!”
