91 members with four LED lights each, this chandelier was designed by Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn. It’s very energy-efficient for the amount of light it provides. Link -via Swiss Miss

Hypodermic Syringe Chandelier by Andy Diaz Hope

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts, Medicine on January 27, 2009 at 1:43 am

Whoa! In this installation titled Blood, Money and Tears (2006) , artists Andy Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth created a chandelier out of hypodermic syringes and Swarovski crystals.

The human urge to modify itself has been a primary focus of my collaborative work with Laurel Roth. We have worked together on installations examining the utopian ideals promised by the pharmaceutical industry and recreational drug culture.

This series of chandelier sculptures drips with sparkling hypodermic needles and garlands of swarovski crystal, and colorful gelatin capsules. Viewed from beneath they create colorful mandalas on which to meditate on ones relationship to pharmaceuticals. The beauty of the object from a distance and the repulsion of the individual elements upon closer inspection create the tension of our cultures schizophrenic relationship to drugs.

Gummy Bear Chandelier

Wow. I’m pretty sure I’d eat this in a weak moment. But it looks pretty awesome. I wonder if it attracts bugs?

There’s a “bear” rug, too, which is funny, but probably not functional. Just thinking about stepping on a rug made of gummy bears kind of squicks me out a little.
