Iridescent globes hang from straight rods in L&G Studio’s trapeze-like Equalizer light. The rounded Riso Side Table by Umberto Bellardi Ricci is handmade to order in carved wood or stone on an i-beam base in weathered metal or black. With bright flecks of color on creamy wool, the Shapes Tapestry is one of several half-moon-shaped objects, including rugs and a clutch bag, designed by New York- and India-based Leah Singh.
