Nancy, the designer behind Around Five Flowers, adorns her Carrousel pendant lights and wall sconces with two patterns from our Modern Style collection.
Living in the Light
Our wallpapers are coming off the walls and into the light. At Joli Jour Paris, a pattern doesn’t have to stay flat—it can be incorporated into a lampshade, light up, and give a room a whole new vibe.
That’s exactly what Nancy did when she chose two Modern Style patterns to adorn her Carrousel light fixtures.
Nancy creates lighting fixtures under the name Around Five Flowers.
Its Carrousel pendant lights and wall sconces feature two of our patterns on the inside of the lampshade: Modern Style No. 5 and Modern Style No. 6. This collaboration was born out of a shared desire: to extend a decorative theme from the wall to the light fixture.
From a distance, it looks like a carousel: a cone topped with a small copper-colored dome, orange, black, green, or midnight blue stripes outlined in gold, and a twisted red or olive-green cable that shoots out like a ribbon. There’s nothing conventional about this silhouette, and that’s what gives it its charm.
Nancy sums it up this way: “A paper lamp featuring 19th-century carousels. The striped pattern is available in as many colors as you’d like, and the color palette is extensive.” — Nancy, @aroundfiveflowers
In the 19th century, carousels spun at European carnivals, with their wooden horses, music, and lights. We readily see in them more than just entertainment: a longing for lightheartedness, celebration, and a life that’s just a little more beautiful. This vision aligns with that of Joli Jour Paris, for whom an interior doesn’t have to be staid.
The Interior
The Garden
The surprise is inside. When you turn it on, the light shines through the lampshade, revealing a pattern from our Modern Style collection.
We are thus transported from a festive setting to a garden—here teeming with large orange flowers and foliage in shades of blue, green, and gray—without even changing rooms: the wallpaper leaves the wall and begins to shimmer.
Modern Style Carousel No. 6is a handcrafted portable lamp featuring warm colors and a delightfully retro charm. Its 23-cm conical shade is entirely hand-painted with wide terracotta and olive green stripes, delicately accented with gold.
An exclusive creation by Joli Jour Paris, enhanced by a green twisted cable and elegant metallic finishes.
