Stuart Haygarth Chandeliers ROCK!

Stuart Haygarth - Lighting designer in the UK. I think his pieces speak for themselves, but there is always a beautiful story behind them, which makes these pieces just marvelous.

You may see this first one ('Cosmic Burst', 2006) in the LA or NYC M.A.C. Flagship store.


The detail picture is of 'Tide’ Chandelier (2005).
This is made with 1000 plastic objects found from the beach. Exhibited at Design Tide in Harajuku.I stole this picture from online Japanese magazine shift.jp.org. They're the best.
