One of the most captivating things I saw this week was this playful take on an iconic British Robert Adams Neo-Classical design. The beaded Madam mirror, inspired by a wall sconce, was designed by London-based furniture and textile designer Justin Van Breda.  Covered entirely in white beads, the whimsical wire piece is made in South Africa by Zulu artisans and retains its classical roots while feeling contemporary with artisan appeal.
