When Maxhedron is turned off, its mirrored surface gives it a mercurial quality, being at one present yet disappearing as it reflects its surroundings. The second phase of transformation occurs when Maxhedron is turned on -- what was a solid surface becomes translucent, and the lights become a constellation of points. Maxhedron contrasts rigid formal language with mutable material qualities for a very dynamic lighting piece." ---------------

when a chair became a sculpture became a chandelier. "We are artists; we do things for no particular reason – no particular purpose. It’s like painting on a white canvas – you cover it with paint; there is no reason to explain why you want to cover it with paint, or why you use blue and yellow or other colors... But for us there is a reason and it’s always the same one: We want to create a work of art, of joy and beauty -Interview with artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude <a href="http://www.egonzehnder.com/global/focus/leadersdialogue/article/id/54300794">(full interview here..)</a> <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5978445712_0df42254b9_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5978445712_0df42254b9_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 703px; height: 892px;" /></a><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6011/5977886925_be323263db_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6011/5977886925_be323263db_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 702px; height: 702px;" /></a> These days ropes are everywhere in design. Hanging loose, or hanging tight. Restricting or holding us up! Lindsey Adelman's rope chandeliers bring me so much joy, they appear effortless. Especially if they were to hang above a Christo chair. I'm still disappointed I didn't get the chance to meet Christo when he was here in L.A. last year. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOOWhvoGHcU">Tie me up! Tie me down! </a> Tie me down!

Heavily inspired by Japanese packaging and maritime culture, Knotty Bubbles is a sculptural light made of hand-blown glass globes tied together with knotted rope.
