The 'Crystalline' chandelier has been created by SOFlab for the Melissa flagship store in New York as a naturalistic illumination installation that creates an ethereal experience for shoppers. The asymmetrical light is achieved with a thin metal frame that has been paired with acrylic panels with a pearlescent aesthetic to help create visual intrigue for shoppers to admire. 50 cells and more than 400 pieces of custom-cut aluminum make up the construction of the chandelier, which casts a rainbow illumination across the entire shop environment.
The 'Crystalline' chandelier is inspired by the Winter shoe line and helps to transform the retail location into a cave-like environment that enhances the experience for shoppers to make shopping feel more like a geological adventure.
