Thomas Newman Studio, "Watiya Juta Chandelier", Chandelier

About the Item

"Watiya Juta" is the name of the Australian species of the Acacia tree. Aboriginal peoples have used the design motif – the inspiration for this chandelier - for thousands of years as a symbol for this tree. The Acacia has been their source of wood used for spear shafts. As an abstract symbol, it has deep spiritual meaning for Aboriginal Australians. Here it becomes a sculpted, organic form put to use as a light fixture. Despite the many miles and millennia that separate our cultures, what survives is its power to evoke deeper emotions in us – to stir feelings of our connection to nature and remind us of our common humanity. A special coloration for the carved Sapele wood was developed for this piece – “Mother Earth Green.” It’s either greenish-brown or brownish-green, depending on how the light strikes it.

  • Thomas Newman Studio, "Pearl", Chandelier, 2019
    By Vladimir Krasnogorov, Thomas Newman
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Please note that the Pearl Chandelier's dimensions do not include the ceiling suspension arm length. Please inquire for more details on fixture dimensions with our sales team. The pearl chandelier is clearly inspired by organic forms, lily pads, oyster shells, plant tendrils, but at the same time is a rationally conceived, architectural form that is driven by the material of its construction: wood. Woodworkers must work within the discipline imposed by the strengths and limitations of their medium. Like the triangulated trusses of a timber form barn, the carved arms and supports are shaped to carry their weight, and function as members of a well-balanced wooden structure. Carving of this quality declined with the passing of the great masters of Art Nouveau, Gaudi, Majorelle, Guimard, etc. The pearl is a modern reinvention of this tradition one hundred years later.

    By Thomas Newman
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    The Spanish word Novios translates broadly as “a couple.” In the natural world, a coupling of one plus one often seems to add up to more than two. Beyond the obvious romantic meaning, we witness in nature numerous examples of an attraction which joins individuals together in a common purpose for a larger good. As such, coupling is a life-giving force that is basic to the wondrous complexity and beauty of our natural environment. The Novios lamp is an organically inspired, abstract symbol...
