A little while back I saw these hanging lamps somewhere on the web and was immediately intrigued by it... I got even more interested when I read that two families, one from Scandinavia and one from Asia where the designers behind the gorgeous lamps called 'Favorite Things'.

Hung-Ming Chen, Chen-Yen Wei, Tina Karlsson and Johan Karlsson meet at Konstfack University of Craft and Design in Stockholm in 2008. The first collaboration results in the joint show ”two families and dog” at Greenhouse, Stockholm Furniture fair. Two years and as many kids later the collaboration evolves into the design studio ChenKarlsson.
