Swarm Chandelier
Zaha Hadid is a well known architect and design but she told herself to a whole new level in creating the 'swarm chandelier' for the Established & Sons. It was lovingly created by suspending 16,000 black crystals by hand on individual wires.
Although it's not strictly speaking a chandelier, as it does not have an internal light source. The black crystals were designed to interpret the concept of 'a swarm of many birds or insects that behave as a unity entity, moving together as a single ever-changing organic form.' V&A
This masterpiece of conceptual or theoretical exploration was exhibited at the V & A museum until the end of the year.
