About the Item

Like an oxymoron, this chandelier combines brutalism and delicacy. The curved and hammered wrought iron structure is connected to thin and unalterable rods which are cleverly hooked together. The blown glass candlesticks, firmly held by iron clamps, display small drops of glass as if frozen before a final fall. Entirely handmade Swedish work giving pride of place to traditional artisanal techniques. Bolin Smide is a company founded in 1943 in Mariestad, Sweden, specializing in wrought iron craftsmanship.
