jo vincent glass

loving these beautiful glass lamps and hanging fixtures from uk designer jo vincent. jo, who made and designed glass in italy and london, prior to opening her own studio, does custom work as well as select “ready to buy” collection, which includes this embrace chandelier. it’s made of 106 individually cast glass blades which are lit by a central core of led lights. it can be set as to one particular color or softly roll through the spectrum, thanks to the handy control panel. it’s about 600 mm x 1000 mm (23″ x 39″) long.

i also like the swell table lamp and the half pipe wall sconce (which can be hung vertically or horizontally).

jo’s studio is located on the edge of the lake district in kendal, and she uses a variety of methods to create these fantastic works. the embrace requires an eight week lead time, but the smaller pieces can be completed in two weeks.

see jo’s website to purchase and view the rest of her gorgeous lighting and home pieces.

eleek recycled calliope chandelier

the folks at portland, oregon’s eleek have brought us this innovative calliope chandelier made from recycled aluminum. the exterior shell is made of art glass rectangles that are “clipped” onto the frame. it comes in an incandescent or fluorescent version, and buyers can customize the color of the art glass as well as the powdercoat on the frame if they wish.

i want very badly to say this is rustic/vintage looking even though it feels ultra contemporary. there’s something about those layers of glass that remind me of the old clay tile roofs on historic arts and crafts buildings here in chicago.

very unique indeed.

see their website for the complete home collection (the page about the company’s approach to sustainability is inspiring!) and for purchasing info.

dazzling davinci led chandelier

my friends used to call me the crow in high school because i liked shiny things. i guess not much has changed since then, because i am entranced by this davinci led chandelier from the venerable german-american schonbek company. this enormous light fixture, encrusted with tons of swarovski crystals, has two modes: halogen, for a moonlight effect, and led, for a smooth shifting, shimmering color show.

the previous version of the davinci is dishwasher safe - believe it or not - and comes in diameter sizes as small as 10″.

this new one is available in 36″ to 60″ diameters – perfect for your powder room, dining area or disco dance floor.

see the specs and details here.
