Sculptural Lighting by Gie El A cascade of volcanic darkness, suspended in light. OBSIDIAN 2 is a sculptural chandelier by Gie El, where natural obsidian and delicate threads of light come together in a slender, cascading composition. Fragments of volcanic glass appear to drift through the air, creating a quiet tension between the weight of the earth and the sensation of weightlessness. Each piece of obsidian carries the imprint of its natural origins. Deep black tones, irregular surfaces, and fleeting reflections reveal the character of volcanic glass. Suspended on exceptionally fine optical fibers, the individual fragments seem to float freely, their dark silhouettes forming an organic rhythm in space. Arranged at varying heights, the obsidian elements descend in a flowing vertical composition, gradually gathering into a denser formation towards the bottom. The changing distances between the fragments create a sense of movement, as though volcanic matter has been caught in a slow, silent fall. Above, a minimalist circular metal canopy introduces a precise geometric line. Its restrained presence contrasts with the irregularity of the stones, allowing the raw character of the material to remain at the heart of the composition. Light meets the obsidian gently, revealing subtle variations in its dark surfaces. From different perspectives, new reflections emerge, shifting the relationship between form, shadow, and space. The nearly invisible optical fibers dissolve into the surroundings, leaving the impression of a cascade suspended in midair. With its elongated silhouette, OBSIDIAN 2 finds a natural place in interiors defined by height and openness — from double-height living spaces and stairwells to expansive architectural settings. A sculptural presence that draws the eye upward, then invites it to follow the quiet descent of volcanic glass through light.
