About the Item

The World’s Fair Collection is a family of fixtures handmade from sustainably sourced materials and upcycled antique paper parasols given to visitors at the 20th century’s most illustrious cultural expo.

It sits atop a lacquered bamboo column with a hand-painted, rattan-and-leather handle, and a painted coiled-seagrass base. Brass fittings, tan leather accents, and a cloth-covered cord complete the modernist profile. Limited edition of 3. One in stock and ready to ship. Handmade in New York by artist Christopher Tennant.
