NEON RUFFLES
Anna says: ‘Tis is super cool – neon and voluminous, really ’80s! It’s a little too over-the-top for me, but would be perfect for someone who wanted to make a statement.’Philip says: ‘Tere is a huge amount going onI am an avid art collector and can see this is a beautiful creation – but it’s kind of like a contemporary installation: you wouldn’t wantit in your house (or on your wedding day!). It’s pretty inspirational, though.’Dayglow is certainly eye-catching.
