She told me their names needed to sound as they look, so I was relieved to happen across domus (a Roman emporer's gaff) and corolla (the collective name for a flower's petals) early on in my search, because this naming lark can go on!

Domus is a great fit because behind the obvious quality, the lantern has the grand domestic air of lighting found in early European courtyards. And corolla was just perfect – describing the one decorative detail that sets the two lanterns apart.

As an antique dealer I found many wonderful globe-shaped lanterns, and for the finial profiles of the domus and corolla, I referenced my two favourites – they were bold, balanced and understated, and one of them (the only one I've ever seen) was petalled.

The crafts that made the original lanterns are the crafts we've employed to make ours, though perhaps maybe not the laser cutting!
