chandeLEER
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.
i'm so glad someone else was obsessed with those blossoms!! we looked everywhere trying to find some for ourselves.
