How VISION is made – a chandelier like a light sculpture
VISION is a chandelier that resembles a light sculpture more than a traditional lamp. While its form is fleeting and free, the process behind its creation is grounded in craftsmanship, precision, and intentional design. Nothing happens by chance – each element is the result of meticulous handwork and hours of creative effort. And it all begins, quite simply, with a roll of steel mesh…
Steel mesh, like fabric
Made from a blend of copper, zinc, and phosphorus, the industrial rolls of mesh used in VISION have remarkable potential. At first glance, the material feels cold, rough, and technical — but after careful hand-processing, it transforms into something almost textile: soft, pliable, and full of spatial nuance. Much like a tailor working on a bespoke suit, the artisans at Gie El cut the mesh into smaller pieces, then use steel templates to shape them with precise dimensions and contours.
A form that floats
Once cut, openings are made in the mesh and finished with metal eyelets. These are the points through which steel cables will later be threaded — suspending the chandelier and allowing it to float in space. This subtle construction adds a sense of levitation, enhancing the theatrical nature of the composition and lending the lamp its signature lightness.Tailors of luminous forms
In the next stage, metal pins are attached to the mesh to connect individual fragments of the material. This is the moment when the whole begins to take shape as a cohesive composition—though still far from its final form. Each fragment is then gently crumpled and carefully shaped by hand—a stage that requires focus and patience, where both precision and intuition play a vital role. There is absolutely no room for haste here; it is in this very moment that the chandelier’s signature lightness is born. The flat material acquires its unique shape and transforms into a spatial, irregular light sculpture.Light that works with space
After the handcrafted segments are assembled and the chandelier takes on its final form, a lighting strip is suspended underneath the mesh composition. This component emits light in two directions — upward and downward. The upper light reveals the three-dimensional shape of the mesh, highlighting depth, shadows, and golden reflections. Simultaneously, the downward light illuminates the functional space below — a table, a reception area, or a lobby.More than lighting
VISION gold chandelier is a luminous form conceived with emotion, motion, and spatial dialogue in mind. It tells a story of raw material transformed by human hands into something soulful. No two pieces are the same — each one is as unique as a handwritten signature, a tailored suit, or a hand-sculpted artwork. It’s a play of light and structure that constantly evolves. This is modern craftsmanship: where design, engineering, artistic sensitivity, and handwork meet.
