chandeLEER

Chandelier

i am in love with this chandelier. so pretty. so delicate.

hundreds of individual iridescent swarovski crystals make up each flower. i bet it's amazing in person and alit.

created by dutch designer tord boontje, the blossom chandelier can be yours for a mere $37,500. the one pictured above hangs in gwyneth paltrow's dining room. color me jealous. i hate you, gwyneth (though i'll probably read your new lifestyle website anyway).

the chandelier reminds me a lot of the paper cherry blossoms that some genius set decorator created for the movie "lost in translation." dabney and i searched in vain for look-alikes while traveling through japan in 2004. instead, we tried to make our own.



sigh.
