Parachilna Gweilo - A draping lamp
''Why can’t light pool, drip, or drape?” asks Alex Josephson, cofounder of Toronto-based design studio Partisans. Parachilna Gweilo, a collection of lights with a sculptural form that folds and bends like light rays themselves, is an answer to this question.

About Parachilna Gweilo Collection
Though based in Barcelona, Parachilna’s origins actually stretch all the way to its namesake, a desert ghost town in Australia. A random stop there years ago inspired Alfredo Valero and Roman Riera to eventually create a luxury lighting company dedicated to enduring craftsmanship, aided by European metalsmiths, glass blowers, ceramicists and other skilled artisans. Collaborating with such notable modern designers as Jaime Hayon and Neri & Hu, partner Alfredo explains Parachilna’s purposeful process. “We don’t use industrial techniques,” he says. “Everything revolves craftsmanship, which means that there is a lot of work, from prototyping to finishing. When we say, ‘We don’t like it,’ we start all over again.”
