5 MOST LUXURIOUS MODERN CHANDELIER TRENDS What does the word chandelier conjure up? For many, it brings to mind old school decadence – opulent structures hanging down from the ceiling, dripping in jewels. For others, it may sound outdated. This is a common misconception. Now, we’re biased, but working with some of the world’s top designer chandelier craftspeople we can tell you – they are anything but outdated. Many lighting designers hark back to traditional styles and craft methods. As in any industry, often the tried and tested ways are carried on from generation to generation for good reason – they work. But the world of chandelier manufacture is also one of innovation and immense creativity. After all, if you know the rules you know how to break them. From new material technologies to computerised craft methods, chandelier manufacturers such as Masiero, Luxxu, Schwung and Lobmeyr are breaking the mould with some absolutely stunning masterpieces. So, when you’re looking to bring a splash of luxurious lighting style into your home, don’t rule out the endless possibilities that chandeliers – both traditional and modern – and statement pendants can bring. Why go for the same as everyone else? Read on to hear our take on the top 5 most luxurious modern chandelier trends. ONE: INDUST RIAL MIN I MALISM The RD15 Chandelier from Schwung is pristine example of how the fusion of traditional technique with modern style can create a thing of absolute beauty. These mouth-blown glass globes give a light and airy feel perfect for a minimal interior, while the bold solid brass is the ideal accompaniment if you’re going for a more industrial look. This chandelier comes in three different finishes – Brass, Polished Nickel or Black Gunmetal – and can be altered to your required height. We love the contrast of the black metal against the dainty glass bulbs. TWO: GOLDEN AGE Gold is timeless! We love the styling of this Sound Masiero 5 light chandelier – here it adds a surprisingly smooth and luxurious lustre to an otherwise industrial space. Concrete and gold are a match made in heaven. Try mixing and matching interior design style to add a hint of intrigue to your space. T HREE: LAYERED L IGHT ING Clusters of layered lighting mean the light dances and glances off of each shade, creating a rich and deep glow. This modern Crek chandelier from Masiero is crafted with the highest quality glass panels and adds a sense of luxury to any room. Varied heights draw the eye and blend into space, making for harmonious, considered home design. FOUR: T HE F INAL FRON TIER Space, the final frontier. This attention-grabbing Explosion chandelier from Luxxu takes its inspiration from none other than the grand cosmos. With a revivalist attitude, this suspension is in salute to Sputnik, but you wouldn’t find this craftsmanship and technology during the space race. Manufacturing methods have come on leaps and bounds since the 60s, and so this light goes where no 60s light would have gone before. Attention to detail is reflected in the numerous slim gold-plated brass and crystal arms which orbit around a centre sphere. As delicate as it is magnificent, this light truly is a show stopper. F IVE : PERFECT PENDANT S If we haven’t convinced you on chandeliers, maybe pendants are more your style? Stunning when solo, these modern Timeo LED pendants from Masiero also create an elegant focal point when grouped over a kitchen island or dining table. Customise to your taste with a choice of finishes. We love the gold, especially in a modern, minimalist setting.
