The Nebu is one of the most ingenious chandeliers I have ever seen. The fixture is based on a sheet of powder-coated black aluminum with 250 spiral designs cut out of it, which hangs from the ceiling.
From there, things get really fun and creative. Inserted into each of the spiral openings is a vintage wine glass; multi-coloured, various sizes and in a range textures, there are 250 of them. What a glorious effect it must have in the night. And if you what to change it up, do a switch-a-roo on the glasses!
The Nebu (short for nebulous) was designed by Francois Chambard for UMproject Inc.
