Made from vintage brass and bronze glass, the Cygnus display is inspired by the homonymous constellation which is one of the brightest and largest constellations in the sky. Composed by rectangles and squares and finished in copper, this is a one of a kind piece that really represents team work. with a price tag of € 4,170 it’s definitely more ‘wish’ than ‘list’ but hey, a girl’s gotta dream. www.brabbu.com/
