Christopher Boots, "Nepenthes Cordon", Chandelier (Small), 2015

About the Item

Shown are both u-shaped Nepenthes Cordon Chandeliers and vertical hanging Tendrils. The list price is solely for one Nepenthes Cordon Chandelier (Small). Please inquire with our sales team about pricing information on the different sizes available as well as upcharged finishes. A sculptural fixture contrasting the masculinity of geometric interlocking solid brass links, paired with the delicacy of amorphous hand-blown glass, Nepenthes is inspired by a genus of carnivorous plants in the monotypic family, Nepenthaceae. The name Nepenthes was first published in 1737 in Carolus Linnaeuss’ Hortus Cliffortianus. It references a passage in Homer’s Odyssey, in which the potion “Nepenthes pharmakon” is given to Helen by an Egyptian queen. “Nepenthe” literally means “without grief” and, in Greek mythology, is a drug that quells all sorrows with forgetfulness. Nepenthes species are considered threatened or endangered plants. The species attract and kill their prey, albeit passively, through the active production of attractive colors, sugary nectar, and even sweet scents.
