new at Gie El: STORM chandeliers

The premiere of STORM chandeliers at Warsaw Home & Contract fair
From October 23-26, during the Warsaw Home & Contract fairā€”the largest interior design event in Polandā€”we debuted the STORM chandelier series. Inspired by the elemental force of a storm, these chandeliers feature a hand-shaped, organic structure of steel mesh illuminated by a gentle light radiating from within. Designed to capture the harmony of light and shadow, STORMā€™s abundant yet lightweight form quickly attracted the attention of design and applied art enthusiasts, making it one of the most photographed pieces at our booth.

STORM: close to nature, close to art
The STORM chandeliers reflect a turn toward the beauty and strength of natural phenomena. Crafted from steel mesh, these chandeliers are shaped into airy, spatial compositions that evoke clouds lit by flashes of lightning, exotic flowers in the midst of a tropical storm, or branches aglow with light. The numerous interpretations reflect the sculptural essence of STORM: here, the observer encounters a sculpture that shines rather than a lamp that merely resembles sculpture.

The craft of STORM lighting

Each STORM chandelier is made to order with meticulous attention to detail. Its 42 steel mesh layers are hand-cut with near-tailor precision and then individually hand-shaped, making each piece unique. The chandelierā€™s backbone is a steel core, while its heart is the light itself.

STORM chandeliers come in two color variations: a cool silver (made from stainless steel) and a warm gold (composed of a copper, zinc, and phosphorus alloy). Each color lends a unique character and symbolic meaning to interiorsā€”silver evokes rain-drenched tropical forests, while gold brings to mind the glowing sands of desert landscapes.

STORM photoshoot at the Gliwice Palm House

To highlight the STORM chandeliersā€™ connection to nature, we conducted a photoshoot for the series at one of Polandā€™s most exotic locationsā€”the Gliwice Palm House. Surrounded by tropical trees, vines, and flowers, the chandeliers displayed their full sculptural form, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. Amid exotic plants and wild greenery, the subtle shadows cast by the chandeliers resembled abstract natural phenomenaā€”from desert whirlwinds to flashes of lightning.

STORM: for lovers of craftsmanship and unique design

The STORM chandeliers are designed for those who appreciate the finer details in their surroundings and seek uniqueness in everyday objects. These sculptural forms enrich interiors and engage the senses, offering a solution where art meets functionality. Discover the STORM chandeliers here.
