Crocetto, Julia




Title:  Take-out Box Chandelier

Dimensions: Approx. 18” high x 24” circumference.
Materials: The boxes are constructed of translucent heat-safe vellum. Metal tubing is used for the main structural core, with metal tubing concealing the wiring to each box. The metal “handle” for each box also conceals the wiring for the fixture within the box.  Bulbs are cool-burning and long-lasting, maximizing the length of time between bulb changes. Each box opens like a conventional take-out box to enable inevitable bulb changing.
Colors: The tone of the box material is warm white, to offset the “cold” light emanating from within. The metal tubing can be plated with brass or nickel finishes, or painted black, white or red.
Function: The fixture can be suspended from any ceiling height and can be adjusted via a pulley system for any table height, day or evening. The bulbs and wiring are suitable for dimmer switches.
Market: This chandelier will appeal to customers seeking a unique yet elegant conversation piece that will provide the perfect ambiance for their gatherings. A store such as Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel, with an overlapping market of furnishings and kitchenware, would feature this light as a limited edition.
Inspiration: This chandelier hangs over an oval glass table in a restored Craftsman-style home. It compliments modern furnishings, bold color, abstract artwork and fine wine. Art and food go so well together.
