apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The EXPO store near me has the crystal sphere. While not my style, it's actually really modern looking in person. Also, the sphere opens into two hemispheres so that they can be run through the dishwasher. No joke, it's right on the tag.

that is so cool that it can be washed like that

Yeah, i kinda want a sphere just for the washability coolness

I can't find them at Farrey's.

Lighting Universe has the sphere - it's $1900 for a 10" pendant.


This is a similar one I've been lusting after. The only reason I haven't bought one yet is the rom where I want to put is has a sloping ceiling. These look absolutely incredible in person. You don't notice the halogen lights, just the sphere seeming to float in space.

It is also crystal (Egyptian).

It is a 24" sphere, and "only" $1547.

Cleaning it may be a pain but I'd put up with that for this much bling.

james moder has a collection of swarovsky 'chandelettes' for those of us who don't have gigantic rooms for gigantic chandeliers....

they're hella affordable and the perfect size for smaller rooms!

can't wait for the loft to be done so i can take a bath under it!

We carry the Schonbek Da Vinci at Lightology in three sizes (10", 12" and 18"). We have them online and also on display in our Chicago showroom.

I saw it in person at the Light House 162 Bowery 212.334.4980.

I have been thinking about using 2 6inch guys above my kitchen island

Theres a restaurant on the 27th Floor of the Morongo Resort & Casino Hotel on the way to Palm Springs that has several Diamond-shaped Swarovski Chandeliers that change color every few minutes...

wish i could buy this, but can't justify that with my little budget

My mother just used several Schonbek pieces in her home in Florida. The Da Vinci is in the foyer, Refrax Wave in her master bath, and Vertex pendants over the kitchen bar - they are absolutely stunning. It's crazy - the Da Vinci does split in half to go in the dish washer! I did almost have a heart attack when she told me how much they were though ...
