About the Item

Light Chandelier by Franz West for MetaMemphis Franz West (Austria) 1947-2012. Welded iron chain suspension lamp / blackish-gray patina. Franz West in a way reinterpreted Privat Lampe Des Kunstlers II by inverting it, and floating the chains horizontally, in the form of this extraordinarily raw "chandelier". It is alive, sculptural, animated with existential presence. A floating work of art (that works!). Franz West’s hanging lamp is part of the Meta Memphis Collection. This piece incorporates an iron chain as an amalgamation of light to form. The fusion of the substantial iron chain with the delicacy of the dangling bulbs allows for a playful contrast of forms, with the chain hanging delicately from above adding a weighted feel to the illuminating form.

CB/MD Chandelier in Brass, Porcelain Glass Handmade by Andrea Claire Studio
By Andrea Claire Studio
Located in Los Angeles, CA
The MED.V1 Luminaire is a genre-defying mid size fixture with 3 radiating brass arms, hanging at a slight tilt, like a soul-surfer riding a wave. Gently balancing on the arms are 1 or 2 coral inspired decorative cast porcelain shapes called “clouds”. Each cloud comes in standard bisque or coral red finish, or they can be special ordered with hand over-glazes to achieve variegated color and texture. There are 3 hand-blown glass diffusers with Opal & Alabaster, created to represent the white water of cresting waves. Special order glass can also be finished with three rolls of glinting silver leaf, or Opal and Grey Venetian optic twist. The MED.V1 has a customizable diameter of between 26”-32” and it is the mid-sized configuration in the Cloudbreak Luminaire Collection. This fixture is ideal for dining tables, bedrooms, sitting rooms, and dressing areas. It’s great in combination with the other configurations in the collection for a more impactful statement. It’s unique textures and sea inspired themes will make any space feel special and elevated. Named after Fiji’s famous “Cloudbreak” surf spot, this collection takes cues from the wild colors and shapes of the corals that create these incredible waves. Our cast porcelain clouds mimic the ends of the Stylaster species of coral, which is common in Fiji. The glass diffusers reveal swirls and white- water like patterns and the sea themed etched metal completes the flow of an otherworldly interplay of texture, light, and shadow.
