Description
Overview
The Gravity Chandelier by Paul Cocksedge re-imagines the chandeliers of the past. It is inspired by changing rigidity to elasticity: its flexible arms let the diameter and the path of the light be chosen, while the suspended elements form natural curves shaped by gravity.
Construction
The material is facetted glass with a powder coated steel light unit, ultra-thin suspension wire and a braided flat cable. The 7 version has 7 LED light sources included (25 W max, 1434 lm, 2614 K max, CRI 89, 50,000-hour rated life) and light goes out in every direction. Canopy: matching steel cylinder. It is compatible with the Wireless Wall Switch, while mains or ELV dimming is not possible.
Story
Elasticity instead of rigidity
Paul Cocksedge's Gravity Chandelier dates from 2021. It takes a second look to unravel its mystery: at first glance it does not reveal its flexibility and cleverness. Gravity causes the graceful arcs of the strands, which end in pressed glass filled with sparkling lights.
