This breathtaking, independently suspended chandelier was created by Ingo Maurer. It is a mixture of art and sculpture. Ingo adds some love letters in different languages in order to inspire the owner to participate. He uses Japanese paper to for a translucent medium so that there will be different lighting effects created depending what piece of paper the light hits. 49 blank pages are left for the owner to style the light as they desire, making it personal to them. What would you write on your lamp? Recipes, love letters, confessions, memories, shopping lists; the possibilities are endless.
The letters are easily attached using thins wires and clips so as not to take away from the delicate nature of the lighting fixture. I believe the wires are arranged in such a fashion so as to give the impression of a chandelier. It is definitely an alternative version but I think it looks beautiful. The main aim of this piece is getting the viewer involved in art and poetry, and I think it works.
