# Crystal Chain Lighting The Gwenael Nicolas 'Sparks' Light is Swarovski Crystal Fabulous By Allison Love | Published 2010-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gewnael-nicolas-sparks References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5522205/crystal-lamp-or-mini-comet) & [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/9734/gwenael-nicolas-sparks-for-swarovski-crystal-palace.html) The Gwenael Nicolas 'Sparks' light installation is a 10-meter long string of [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-swipe) crystals that are programmed to set off "sparks" that leap across a room, becoming "as weightless as air." The installation is pretty remarkable and looks as though there is a string of sparklers attached from one end of the room to another. The idea was to free crystals from the laws of gravity, allowing them to become weightless in a room. The Gwenael Nicolas 'Sparks' light installation is pretty cool, especially in the dark!
