"Watiya Juta" - Chandelier, Sculptural, Contemporary, Leaf-like - Ebonized
About the Item
“Watiya Juta” is the name of the Australian species of Acacia tree. Aboriginal peoples use this motif, the inspiration for this chandelier, for millennia. It has deep spiritual meaning for them. Here, executed in hand carved sapele wood, its sculptural, organic form is put to use as a light fixture. Remarkably, its power to stir feelings of our connection to nature is transmitted to us despite the many miles and millennia that separate our cultures. It is a reminder of our common humanity.

Thomas Newman Studio
Thomas Newman studied art history at Swarthmore College and enjoyed making things in his father’s basement workshop. A self-taught woodworker, he has had a fifty-year career that began by restoring antiques. It was a lesson, not only in a wide range of woodworking techniques, but also in various traditional furniture styles. He developed a specialized table-making business and built more than 500 custom tables. Over this period his work has been featured by nearly every major design firm in New York City.
Vladimir Krasnogorov joined the studio in 2001 and is the principal designer of its new line of sculptural, carved-wood furniture. He grew up in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and always dreamed of being a furniture maker. Coming of age during the collapse of the Soviet Union, he searched for new designs to liberate his creative spirit from the oppressive boredom of bureaucratic Soviet style. This led him to Kazimir Malevich’ Suprematism and the Russian Avant-Garde of a century ago. His work, in a real sense, is an echo of the revolutionary design ideas of that era, now set in a post-Soviet world. His designs reflect an effort to achieve balance, harmony and proportion in new forms for a vision that is entirely his own.

- Thomas Newman Studio, "Pearl", Chandelier, 2019By Thomas Newman, Vladimir KrasnogorovLocated in Los Angeles, CAPlease 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. The furniture and lighting of Thomas Newman Studio...Category
