These are the five projects I reviewed during May that I felt really stood out and wanted to give them another opportunity to be seen and discussed. I have ordered these from five to one with my favourite project presented last. Do you agree with my choices?
05 Reflect Lights designed by Designers United
Reflect Lights is an architectural lighting design and supply firm based in the Greek city of Thessaloniki.
