Calliope Luxury Chandelier

Filed under: Decor, Green

Described as both organic and mechanical, this Calliope Luxury Chandelier is beautiful for sure. It's made up of rectangular pieces of artistic rippled glass clipped by 100% recycled aluminum clasps to form a multicolored glittering sphere. Definitely a modern design, even futuristic, although has an certain natural appeal also. Some say it looks like a flower bud about to open, although that wasn't my first thought. Available from Eleek it can be customized in a variety of colors and/or patinas for a truly unique lighting experience. $15,800

The Zettel'z 5 Light

Filed under: Decor, Art

The Zettel'z 5 light will not only illuminate your home or office, but it will also provide a conversation piece and interesting focal point because you can actually do some reading while admiring this lamp. It's made up of 80 sheets of Japanese paper hung in such a way to disguise the bulb inside, diffusing the light in an interesting way. Designed in 1997 by Ingo Maurer, 49 of the paper sheets are printed and 31 are blank, and the rest of the lamp is made of stainless steel and satin-frosted glass. £571

Sputnik Floor Lamp

Filed under: Decor

This is one of those pieces that needs careful placement in the right environment to look right, but if you achieve that it could really be an interesting addition to a room. It's the Sputnik Floor Lamp, and its satellite-inspired look is sure to be a conversation starter. It has 24 chrome arms, some with chrome spheres on the end and others with light bulbs. I'm curious to see what it looks like turned on because it seems like it might need a shade? That's going to be a lot of light -- I hope it comes with a dimmer switch! 173cm tall, £255.

Get Your Own Personal Moon

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

I love this idea! I have no clue how or what I would do to pull this off in a decorating scheme but I just love the idea of having my own moon. The design comes from Russia and this is one situation where if somebody was feeling all romantic they really could throw a lasso around the moon and pull down out of the sky (or tree, as it were). It's a large lightbox and is called "Your Personal Moon." What do you think? Cool or ridiculous? I'm just wondering if it has a dimmer switch?
