    WISH LIST: THE GARINEE LAMP IS CLASSIC YET TRENDY

    The shade may catch your eye but the base is truly spectacular. The
    Garinee lamp is produced by Cub-ar, a French company that creates
    products out of Armenian obsidian, a precious stone formed when
    volcanic lava of the felsic variety cools rapidly. The stone is dark
    and full of depth but also, somewhat paradoxically, transparent.

    Cub-ar's collections are designed in France but the stone is cut and
    polished in Armenia by skilled artisans in a process that involves
    slicing it with a diamond-blade saw, smoothing it down and then
    polishing it off. The stone is then coupled with materials such as
    wood and metal to create stunning items for the home. The natural
    patterning and transparency of the obsidian makes every piece in the
    Cub-ar portfolio unique.

    The Garinee base stands at 25cm tall, and combines obsidian in striped
    translucent black and iridescent brown. This is coupled with a neon
    green lampshade that is blindingly on trend. The mixing of a colour
    that is bright, flirty and unashamedly trendy with a material that
    is sleek, sophisticated and millions of years old makes for stunning
    contrast.

    Cub-ar products are distributed in the UAE by Faubourg Design;
    www.faubourgdesign.com; 050 37 39 182. The Garinee lamp retails for
    ~@850 (Dh4,459).
