Frozen in flight – HIVE chandelier LGH0822
Sculpture created by air is the essence of HIVE which is desired to be a depiction of the volatile nature of flora. Geometric forms hanging on thin steel lines tell the story of falling and spinning autumn leaves that will never descent. The floating objects are suspended in the air to depict the falling of leaves frozen in time. Steel objects suspended in the air are attractively illuminated by energy saving LED bulbs. These are giving additional, intriguing light reflections. The placement of the bulbs does not distract from the actual sculpture and has the ability to light up large interiors. The HIVE is the work of the architect and founder of the brand Gie El, Jacek Rypuła and designer Monika Pluta.
Unobvious conjunction of black and distinctive gold give rise to phenomenal composition of colors. The light extracts from brass plated steel colors like orange, copper, bronze and gold with uncounted number of its shades. Depending on the lighting source, which comes from a chandelier or other medium, the HIVE presents its different color aspects. This lighting sculpture also allows you to enjoy the unique colors and light we get in the autumn season in the comfort of your own home all year around. The choice of materials and its colors have been specifically chosen to depict the colors within the natural world during autumn. Just like the sun brings out the color from the leaves, the light of inconspicuous LED bulbs shows us the beauty of steel covered brass. HIVE chandelier illuminates both our interior and brass plated forms of art in three-dimensional, aerial composition. When the aura of autumn and winter does not allow you to enjoy the warm colors of autumn, give yourself a sensual feast for the eyes.
