Cool design chandelier ‘Spectacle’ by lighting designer Stuart Haygarth, which is created from 1020 pairs of prescription spectacles which are linked together to resemble a traditional tiered chandelier. By using prescriptive spectacles which were once an essential tool for seeing an interesting analogous line is drawn between their old and new purposes. A mirror ball light effect is produced as the light is refracted through the several layers of lenses. The chandelier comes in two sizes.

Cool design chandelier ‘Millennium Chandelier’ is made of 1000 exploded Party Poppers collected ( on 01.01.00 ) after the Millennium celebrations in London. Each Popper is suspended on a line from a platform above. The sculptural shape sways and moves like an organic form when hit by a breeze of air. Although this original light is a ‘ one off ‘ piece due to the narrative it is recreated using new party poppers. The multi-coloured type is created from blue, green, red, yellow and white poppers. There is also a black edition created purely from black poppers.

The poppers hang on monofilament line held by ’split shot’ from a 86cm square MDF platform above. The light source is a warm tone 60w incandescent bulb.
