Lets Talk About Lighting!

Crystal...

The chandelier is an object that has a long and rich history. At first it was nothing more that two beams of wood holding candles which created more light than a single light source. Only wealthy people had such things at their homes. Although over the centuries chandeliers have evolved. Since 17th century glass and crystals have become the most popular materials in chandelier design. Nowadays chandeliers are more objects of decoration than light sources because there are much better light fixtures in terms of light but chandeliers are still the most beautiful ones.

For the third consecutive year, a selection of designers and artists from all over the world were invited to exploit not only the beauty, but also the technical possibilities of Swarovski crystal.  Their mandate, once again, was that of reinventing the chandelier.  Including this one, Lolita, designed by Ron Arad.  Arad created the classic chandelier shape yet using an ultra modern approach an omni-directional, spiral, crystal pixel board with 2100 crystals, 1050 white LEDs, 1 km of 9-way cable braided shielding and 31 processors to create a truly interactive design which displays text messages sent via SMS.
