“Monstera lamp” is made by Daedalus Street, which Camden art centre sells. (22 Feb 2022) I was surprised when I saw this because it is exquisite, like a natural leaf. As a result of research, found that it is a real Monstera. They created this by electroforming pure copper onto a natural Monstera. It means… Continue reading Daedalus Street
