LIGHT SHOW

Crystals arranged in staggering heights create a vision of the New York City skyline.

Award-winning interior designer Vanessa DeLeon pays homage to the city with the dazzling Orizzonte (meaning “skyline” in Italian) light fixture, an elegant tribute to New York’s iconic skyline. Composed of layered Firenze crystals and illuminated by LED downlights, the piece, designed for Allegri Crystal by Kalco Lighting as part of her Illumine collection, captures the city’s essence that has long influenced her work. “New York inspires me every day, so when creating my collection, I thought, ‘What better way to honor it than by giving its skyline a crystal illumination?’” 601 W. 26th St.
