Thursday, April 5th, 2012

You don't often think of a large decorative chandelier as being a bona-fide gadget. But the hanging veins on Denise Hachinger's Kronleuchter—or crown light—raise and lower at your beckoning to focus the light or cast an ambient glow in the room. More »

How To Make The Geekiest Chandelier In The World [Design]

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

The problem with most light fittings is that they're only about style: they're the preserve of hipsters and interior designers. If you want something a little more geeky, why not make your own test tube chandelier? More »

Solar-powered butterfly chandelier is a fluttering mass of art and light

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
Virtue of Blue

Look closely at that blue blob up above and you'll realize it's made up of 500 butterflies, each one meticulously cut from photovoltaic cells. The hundreds of insects collect the sun's rays as they flutter around a giant glass bulb that turns into a churning mass of light after dusk. The Virtue of Blue chandelier is a stunning work of art by Dutch designer Jeroen Verhoeven that draws connections between the beauty and power of nature and the importance of sustainable energy... or, you know, just something trippy to stare at while you sip a few cocktails at the Blain|Southern gallery in London.

Friday, January 21st, 2011

A Chandelier Fit For a Mad Scientist’s Lair [Home Mod]

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

No, that's not a sentinel hanging from this family's ceiling. It's one hundred petri dishes attached to 15,000 feet of fiber optics...perhaps pausing for a moment before reaching down to strike at those dining below? More »

Transforming Nissyoku Solar Eclipse Lamp Powered By LED, Not Fusion [Lamps]

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Things I thought of while viewing the solar eclipse-inspired Nissyoku lamp: GLaDOS, a glowing tennis ball and, oh yeah, a solar eclipse:

The designer says that unlike those fleeting solar eclipses we see in the sky, this lamp lasts for up to 10 years.

It's also capable of morphing from one simple shape to the next, and can be suspended from the ceiling, a la a chandelier, or placed on a table, where it will neither burn out your eyes nor damage your table.

The light source, sadly, is not fusion or even fission, but a 5W LED in each of the two panels. [Igendesign via Design Blog]

Colonel Mustard, In The Dining Room, With This Chandelier [Design]

Friday, March 5th, 2010

There are lamps that excite me and there are lamps that I couldn't care less about. Then there's this chandelier designed by Robert Kaindl, glass artisan extraordinary, which looks like it would stab me if given the opportunity.

For once, I'm scared to turn on the lights. [Design Milk]
