Monumental 10 Light Fresnel Sunflower Chandelier by Dirk van der Kooij
Located in Culver City, CA
In the opulent world of the uber-rich, where mansions are counted in the tens of millions, and pop superstars reign supreme, one can expect nothing less than extravagance in every detail. Amidst the glittering gems of a $70 million mansion owned by a legendary pop sensation, we had the honor of acquiring a custom chandelier that defies convention and embodies the spirit of luxury and creativity. Allow me to introduce you to a dazzling masterpiece—a one-of-a-kind creation by none other than the visionary Dirk Van Der Kooij. Picture yourself stepping into a lavish, sun-drenched living room, adorned with the finest furniture money can buy. In this resplendent space, the centerpiece of the room is the extraordinary custom chandelier—a breathtaking work of art that beckons the gaze of those who dare enter. This chandelier is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's as if an intricate web of tinker toy sticks and wheels has come to life, monumentally suspended from the ceiling in a mesmerizing display. Crisscrossing black rods weave an intricate pattern, resembling the playful sticks of childhood imagination, yet with an adult sophistication that captures the essence of modern luxury. The magic of this chandelier lies in its radiant, wheel-shaped 3D-printed recycled plastic rings. These translucent rings, adorned with a riot of bright lights, cast a celestial glow, reminiscent of twinkling stars on a clear night. Imagine standing beneath this celestial marvel, feeling as if you're gazing at the very cosmos itself. But what truly sets this chandelier apart are the circular black balls nestled at its core, reminiscent of the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop. These unique orbs, resembling beautifully lit lollipops, add a whimsical touch to the chandelier's design, infusing an air of playfulness and joy into the opulent setting. Dirk Van Der Kooij, the mastermind behind this creation, is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of design. His philosophy revolves around longevity, functionality, and joy, and this chandelier is a testament to those principles. Van Der Kooij's journey began in 2009 when he set up his studio in the basement of the Design Academy, Eindhoven. His quest to find the honest, durable potential in plastic led to groundbreaking innovations, including the iconic Elephant Skin series, where recycled plastic came alive with rich, living tactility. The Kooij collection, with its penchant for unconventional materials and a marriage of craft and technology, has found its way into prestigious museums worldwide. Pieces from his collection now grace the permanent collections of institutions like MoMA in New York and the Vitra Design Museum, a testament to his enduring impact on the world of design. Now, picture the scene where this magnificent chandelier hangs in the mansion—a scene of luxurious excess and unapologetic glamour. Surrounding it are design classics, including the Cassina Mex Cube...

Sistema Solare Chandelier, Piattelli Design, Ivory-toned Onyx and Brass, 6-shade
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
Unique chandelier, made from thinly-cut pieces of exquisite ivory-toned translucent onyx. Ideal to be hung over a table, with versatile configurations. Ivory onyx comes from Middle Eastern quarries and has a unique veining. This translucent stone is carefully worked in Italy, and was chosen because of its combination of interesting patterns, high translucency, and the way it makes the light output look warmer. The 6-shade version is ideal to be hung over an oval dining table. Our onyx supplier has worked in many high-end architectural projects, and these same materials have been used at the Armani hotel in Milan. When he was shown the chandelier designs, he rose to the challenge and adapted his tooling to make us perfect round discs. He worked hard to find exactly the right thickness that would keep the depth of the texture. It could not be too thick, otherwise it would lose transparency. And too thin, it would look like it was printed. The result is stunning. The combination of carefully-worked translucent stone and brass works perfectly, and the use of the ingenious Orbitale structure allows the geometry of the chandelier to be played with, and it can be configured in several ways. There is nothing else like this on the market. The Sistema collection uses a clever rotating stem structure and features a shallow drum-shaped shade at the end of each arm. The chandelier arms are designed with two lengths so that each can be staggered at different angles. They work well in any space and suit both regular and low-ceilinged rooms wonderfully. Please see the drawing to get an idea of sizes for the different chandeliers. On the upper side of each disc there is a smaller opening to provide ambient light. Top-quality LEDs with over 80 CRI, meaning that the lighting does not alter the color of food and people. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can be rotated 180 degrees to configure various combinations. As well as two rows of evenly-spaced lights over a dining table, a regular 8-shade star or 4-shade star (see photos) are possible, as well as creative sculptural shapes. The arms can be rotated even when the chandelier is lit. The shades can also be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). This listing shows the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Silvio Piattelli copyright and design. Specifications (Note: The Sistema chandelier has glass shades, while Sistema Solare...

Antique, Vintage and Contemporary Chandeliers and Pendant Lights

Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique and vintage chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.

While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.

The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina (note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too), with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier.

Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged. Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes. Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.

For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.

The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the whimsical — like the work of Beau & Bien’s Sylvie Maréchal, frequently inspired by her dreams — to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room. With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs.
