The Calumet Chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting draws on Venetian glassmaking traditions for a design that brings botanical inspiration to the chandelier format. Fluted artisan champagne piastre glass arms are notched along their length to evoke flower stems, each one topped with a tapered silk shade that softens the overall composition and introduces a transitional quality to what is otherwise a very expressive form. Steel construction holds the piece together, giving it structural solidity beneath its organic, craft-led surface.
