My Love by Edmondo Testaguzza, an industrial designer born in Backnang, Germany, is a collection of pendant lamps that have been modelled after various buildings from houses to factories and more. Coming together to form a small town, it is as though it were named after the place where the designer grew up in. Only that would inspire such a fervent declaration of love.
Created for Italian manufacturer Karman, My Love by Edmondo Testaguzza is comprised of five designs, each of which (save one) is decorated with tree-like cutouts. Emitting a soft and warm glow, the suspension lamps are made out of white lacquered brass. The collection is accompanied by a sweet poem about coming home.
