OBSIDIAN 3 is a sculptural chandelier by Gie El, where the elemental beauty of natural obsidian meets the delicacy of light. Suspended in space, fragments of volcanic glass form an expressive composition that feels both powerful and almost impossibly light. Each piece of obsidian carries its own character. Deep black tones, irregular textures, and subtle variations in the surface reveal the material’s volcanic origins. No two fragments are identical. Together, they create an organic rhythm, as though pieces of the earth have been lifted into the air and held in a moment of stillness. Exceptionally fine optical fibers support the obsidian elements, becoming nearly invisible against the surrounding space. The stones appear to float freely, their dark silhouettes contrasting with the delicate presence of light. As illumination meets the volcanic glass, fleeting reflections emerge across its natural surfaces. Light does not overpower the material. Instead, it reveals its depth, allowing darkness, texture, and subtle highlights to coexist. A minimalist metal ceiling canopy introduces a precise architectural geometry, providing a quiet counterpoint to the organic arrangement below. From every angle, the installation reveals a different relationship between its elements, shifting gently with the observer’s perspective. Despite its intricate composition, OBSIDIAN 3 retains a remarkable sense of visual lightness. Its presence is unmistakable, yet it never feels static or heavy. More than a source of illumination, OBSIDIAN 3 is an exploration of contrast — between darkness and light, gravity and suspension, the rawness of nature and the precision of human craft.
