More about the project
We were given specifics to work with by the clients Architects, we worked together with the clients’ designers. One of the most difficult aspects of producing almost Mother Nature looking pieces was to go back to the drawing board and measure lighting hues, kelvins, reflection with glass, weight ratios versus lightweight frame.
How we did it
The balance had to be calibrated so precisely that anything above and beyond would be too obvious, lighting hotspots were no longer visible. We did lots of research and mock-ups to balance the right sort of crystal which ended up being 3 layers of Swarovski Strass Crystal and a combination of 24ct gold leafing for all external hardware elements.
The result of which now speaks for itself, a long journey to achieve unblemished pieces of art that to me feel like they have been born by some natural bio non mechanical creation.
Timescale
With the main lighting package being installed, which consisted of huge pieces including a number of features for other key areas within the temple, the client returned to us, and wanted us to produce package number 1 as well as they were not happy with their other suppliers, in the space of only 13 weeks we managed to produce 172 chandeliers, all with handmade glass leaves, it’s was another challenge that we undertook and completed to clients satisfaction, so much so that we were given a commendation by the clients architects.
