Highlighting Tiles - Lights and Lamps

Essential to life, useful for lighting our way and a real winner in setting the perfect mood, lights and lamps have long been one of our closest companions. Lamp light has forged pathways and illuminated courtyards and homes for millenia. It's hard to imagine life without it and today we have the luxury to freely experiment with lighting to achieve the atmosphere that suits us and what we do. Discovering functional and decorative lighting for every room helps create the scene and feelings we want to generate amongst family, friends or business partners. The quality of interaction and relationships can be greatly enhanced with subtle or striking lighting, complementing the hues of the environment or producing dynamic shafts of light from the decorative lampshades. A lamp and shade can act as a focal point, illuminate a special feature or simply complement the colors and style of your living spaces. An eloquent expression of individual creativity. These traditional tin lanterns and candleholders have long been crafted in San Miguel de Allende in several workshops. Our delightful lanterns you see here are created by Paulo Cortez, in polished tin. Paulo hammers each hole by hand, making these lanterns completely unique, each shaft of light creating a different pattern on the surroundings. A simple yet incredibly effective way to create a softly radiating glow in any space, these lanterns can be used indoors and out. Traditionally used both decoratively and functionally metal lanterns are a safe and easy way to invite a calm or relaxing atmosphere.
