Wo & We: Industrial-Chic Lighting from Villeurbanne, France

February 21, 2017

When we last checked in on Olivier Abry of Wo & Wé, it was 2011 and he was just starting to assemble wabi-sabi lights from vintage parts in his atelier in Villeurbanne, France. Now he collaborates with local Lyon craftsmen to design a wide selection of statement-making, industrial-chic designs. Here’s a look at the collection.
