Harry Allen's Recast Fixtures Emit a Ghostly Glow Harry Allen deals in twisted household archetypes. The New York-based designer's ongoing Reality series includes a fruit bowl cast from a bunch of bananas, a coat hook shaped like a hand and a roller skate playing the role of door stop. For his latest project, Paperwork lanterns for Hive, he has transformed an old barn lantern into a ghostly light fixture. "It's humble, like a found object," Mr. Allen said. Cast in papier-mâché and mounted on black or chromed steel, the collection includes a table lamp, floor lamp and chandelier, all designed to hang from hooks attached to an armature. The lights are illuminated with LED bulbs. A single lantern measures 15 ½ inches high, 9 5/8 inches wide and 4 ¾ inches deep, and costs $350. Information: (888) 889-9005 or designbyhive.com.
