Order and Chaos

Order and Chaos

In response to the need for a transparent chandelier for a hotel in Warsaw a delicate weave of silver wire was developed and laced with thousands of LEDs. The structure hangs in a glass atrium over a distance of 22 storeys and uses over 3000 light emitting diodes woven into a traditional chandelier shape. The transparency allows people travelling in glass lifts to be able to look through the structure and out across the city. The mechanism of weaving, with its angular regularity and mechanical repetition, references the urban growth of linear road networks and the structural skeletons of buildings.
