The Afloat chandelier is a striking work of artistic lighting design that pays tribute to the enduring fascination with floating islands and cities. These fantastical visions, deeply rooted in popular culture, have appeared in legendary tales since Homer’s Odyssey and have continued to inspire depictions of futuristic civilizations that hover just beyond the limits of human imagination. Majestic and dreamlike, they symbolize a blend of wonder, ambition, and the possibility of advanced worlds suspended in the skies.
Drawing from this timeless motif, the Afloat chandelier translates the idea of a floating metropolis into a luminous sculptural form. Crafted from anodized aluminum, it features a geometric array of interlocking squares and rectangles arranged across multiple levels to evoke the architecture of a suspended cityscape. At its heart rests a glowing spherical LED core, radiating light outward like an energy source powering this imaginative construct.
With dimensions of 3 feet 11 inches in diameter and 1 foot 10 inches in height, the chandelier has a commanding yet refined presence, striking a balance between artistic expression and architectural scale. The use of LED technology ensures efficient, long-lasting illumination, while the anodized aluminum structure provides durability and a polished, contemporary finish. More than a functional light source, the Afloat chandelier is a statement piece that transforms interiors into spaces filled with imagination, narrative, and luminous artistry.
