Wine Barrel Ring Chandeliers

Vortex is a Light Made with Reclaimed Wine Barrel Metal Hoops

— August 9, 2018 — Art & Design
Vortex is a wine barrel chandelier made by skillfully welding together several steel hoops, recycled from discarded wine barrels. Finally, a great-looking, sleek, industrial pendant light that even guys can feel happy buying for their home. The staggered arrangement of the metal rings gives this pendant light a very unusual and fascinating shape, which is different and interesting from every angle.

The bands repurposed from used wine barrels are made of galvanized steel and give this extraordinary piece a very definite urban feel. The inner light of the wine barrel chandelier features a clear vial-shaped glass suspended by a blackened-bronze metal bracket. The entire piece is finished in gorgeous black color.

The Vortex wine barrel light can be integrated as an exceptional—and definitely unique—light fixture into any style of interior decoration, from the rustic to the more modern and contemporary.

1. Upcycling - Repurposing discarded wine barrel hoops for chandeliers creates a unique and eco-friendly option for lighting fixtures.
