Palm O Rana
The Palm-O-Rana by Rana Salam for Interform.
From Beirut to Miami — two cities that dreamed in color and lived for the night.
Palm-O-Rama is where 1950s Miami glamour flirts with Beirut’s golden era — when palm trees lined the Corniche and everything shimmered with possibility.
This lamp is a love letter to that shared spirit of sunshine and style: The palm tree. Part sculpture, part 50s pop memory, radiating the optimism of a world that believed in beauty, leisure, and the good life.
Light it up — and let the tropics meet the Mediterranean.
“-O-Rama” was a popular 1950s–60s American expression used to make things sound exciting, modern, and larger than life — a mix of spectacle and fun.
Palm-O-Rama comes from words like Panorama or Diorama slang for “a grand show or extravaganza.”
*Palm-O-Rana* is a play on words and a bit of flirting.
