Therese Chandelier By Cultivate
CULTIVATE is a design house that, as many Dutch designers do, explore the extreme edges of puns. They are very toung and cheek with their designs. Their playfulness does not detratct from the visceral power that their objects produce. The Therese chandelier, in particular is one of these visceral items. The designers have thrown out the paradigm of crystal, and concentrated on the two dimensional silhouette of a chandelier as the basis of the chandelier design. Modern acrylic replaces crystal, however the effect is equally or more clear in its function to dazzle.

3. Tongue-in-cheek Designs - Creating playful and witty designs that are still visually arresting and push the boundaries of what is expected in an industry or product category, such as lighting.
