With the Concordia Chandelier, designer Ian Thornton was keen to create a fixture that would be perfect for a foyer space in size and scale. He played with folded metal to turn the creation into a modern interpretation of a ribboning profile. He then finished the exterior and the clean-lined rod from which it hangs in a painted gesso white and had the interiors slathered in a contemporary gold leaf that warms the illumination. Because the gold chandelier has both up-light and downlight, it is a terrific choice for spaces that require maximum illumination.
