The shape of this creation is pretty much familiar and same goes with its functionality. However, the latter part may leave some people to think twice, especially if you want to see this chandelier last longer without sacrificing its mold.

The Candelier is a creation by Takeshi Miyakawa. It is made entirely out of wax and if you should dare light it up, expect it to drip wherever you may place it and most probably disintegrate. Created for the Creatomatic show at New York’s Eyebeam Gallery, it took ten weeks to cast and mold.

The idea really looks neat and poses a great alternative to lighting solutions that should use no electricity. However, some improvements perhaps could be great, especially if you talk about maintaining its form for a longer time.

Apparently, seeing the props in the usual plays and stage musicals are not mainly works of wild imagination. For renowned designer Tony Duquette who is best known for designing costumes, this has gone as far as marketing his home designs as well.

Among them include this Marsan chair which can be traced to the 1950’s. Antiques as you may categorize them, they can cost up to $4,400 along with a potential consideration of his designed chandelier offered for sale at about $20,000.00.

Baker is making the designer’s fanciful aesthetic available on a wider basis with the Selected Works of Tony Duquette, a 19-piece collection that includes reproductions of his furniture, lighting and accessories. The pieces range from the elegant, 18th century-inspired Marsan chair, designed in the 1950s for Duquette’s one-man show at the Louvre, to the wackily whimsical Abalone Chandelier. Duquette designed the original for a house in Los Angeles but liked it so much that he eventually bought it back and put it in his legendary Beverly Hills home, Dawnridge. This vision of golden-age glamour doesn’t come cheap — the chair is almost $4,400, the chandelier a little over $20,000 — but there’s a lot of stylistic bang for the buck.

Chandeliers have long been bringing the tag of upgrading the level of homes, adding a touch of class and elegance placed in the right places. Sure they will have their issue of using to many incandescent bulbs that are the contributing elements towards aura and ambiance but the thing is also thinking that they are not the usual things turned on everyday.

This is to emphasize on the issue that chandeliers encourage wasting electricity. But whether they are lighted on or not, you can just feel the difference that they brought before and will continue to do so today for homes who still acknowledge the difference in home atmosphere that these classy chandeliers bring to any home.

Chandeliers have made a shimmering return to cool. Virtually all revamped restaurants and hotel bars are dotted with ornate cut-glass, crystal and plastic light fixtures.

Cheap and chic versions are available at big box stores and then there are the singular creations of designers like Arik Levy. Levy is a prolific designer who has put his stamp on everything from opera sets to jewellery and furniture.
