As part of its all-encompassing design scheme for Surrey Manor, CARPENTE designed a spectacular chandelier for the dining room to hang above a bespoke Brazilian Azul Macaubas quartzite table, allowing the crystal grains of the table top to softly sparkle and shine. It took two years from the initial concept to get to prototyping and define the size of the laser-cut, brass tubes and develop an algorithm to determine the perfect organisation of three different lengths of tubes so that the completed arrangement felt organic rather than contrived. Careful contemplation of the finish (both inside and out) of the brass tubes and the lighting elements within was vital to ensure the chandelier was striking yet elegant and that it delivered a magical, candlelit atmosphere.
