Given free range to design and make a new
chandelier for the atrium above the staircase, we chose to
flame-work lilac and colourless borosilicate glass into delicate
wisteria like pendant flowers.
The whole chandelier including stainless
steel weighed less than 15 kilos and grew naturally into the
space provided by the atrium 2.65 x 1.30 x 1.60m high
The delicate glasswork allowed simple looped
fixings removing the need for heavy engineered metal joints and
glue.
The overall light weight canopy of
stainless steel tendrils needed no extra engineering
for the ceiling.
We have learned completely new skills but
this has opened up yet new possibilities for us.
