The “Always Wanted to be a Chandelier” is what you might called a “failed” lighting design. An inanimate object so dejected and depressed with its lot in life that it has become suicidal! Perhaps we should be more thoughtful and considerate to our furniture for who knew they had feelings?

This quirky design is the work of Tel Aviv based designer, Itay Ohaly. The hanged light is actually a regular floor light with a bend in the stand near the lampshade and hung from the ceiling with a thick rope knotted as the classic hangman’s noose. - Via

Dottings Design decided to combine fringes and light and create this beautiful chandelier that has an exquisitely old look, that was exposed at Vienna Design Weeks between 3 Oct and 21 Oct 2007. This chandelier is a great example of how you can use inspiration from old things to create beautiful new stuff. - Via - Designbuzz

Shoal is a mass of finely cast exquisitely sculpted bone china fish, swarm around a central beam of light. A true piece of beath-taking art. This awesome chandelier is designed by Dominic Bromley and is an award winning feature exhibit at 100%Futures, part of 100%Design 2007. - Via - Apartamenttherapy
