Let there be light!
February 9th, 2010
First came the must have statement bag, followed by the lusted after statement shoe and statement jewelry. Now fashion has soared to new heights… literally. Winnie Lui’s unique creations of chandeliers transport the whimsical world of fashion into the realm of interior lighting. The Hong Kong based designer draws on her experience as a jewelry designer to craft a catalectic collection of bric-a-brac into an entrancing work of art.
Maximizing the use of light and shadows, Lui has developed two ranges: one playing on the tonal mystics and purity of white, and black, for those more in touch with their darker side. Both ranges use bits and pieces sourced from flea markets – anything from delicate ribbons to gothic skulls and chains. The Betty’s absolutely adore this chandelier (pictured) from the White collection; it is sure to bring child-like cheer to any room. Think the innocence of Peter Pan and the magic of Alice In Wonderland. What’s more we love that Lui’s designs take accessorising to a whole new level!
There are only 200 chandeliers in existence – 100 in white and 100 in black. For your chance to snap one up, they are available at www.optique.com.au
