Lamb, Bree: Beehive Chandelier



The "Beehive Chandelier" takes it's inspiration from the traditional Chinese Lantern in it's light-weight, collapsible wire frame design and translucent material. Substituting vegetable vellum for commonly used, fragile papers, this chandelier will be durable while maintaining the desired luminous quality. The geometric form is loosely based on a beehive, and the cut out patterns are abstractions of honeycombs that will project patterns onto walls when light is shown through. 

The chandelier is 24" at its widest point and 26"inches high, weighing 12 ounces without bulbs. The electrical wiring comes out of the top of the chandelier and 4 sockets are attached to a metal frame fit for Candelabra bulbs. These bulbs are decorative in nature, inexpensive and available in a variety of colors if the consumer wants to use colored bulbs to modify or customize the piece.

The target market is students or young professionals. The chandelier is detailed and durable with the ability to be broken down and packed up easily without much hassle or taking up a lot of space. Price range would be around $20.
