The clients had seen another chandelier we had created using antiques and liked the concept for their living room. But of course it needed to fit their unique needs and style of the space. They had a color scheme it needed to fit in, it needed to be sized for the space and they wanted antiques but "not too rustic".
Particularly with lighting....Form follows function. So we had a lot to bring together... A challenge we enjoy!
The brainstorming began - along with the searching for the perfect antiques to fit the bill.
The inspiration for the design started with antique wooden sleds.... We liked the shape they created when we masses 4 together. For this clients space, they were wanting to 'soften' the hard lines of the room. We were looking to add some slight curves within the piece and the sleds were a good take off point.
We presented the idea to the clients with some rough sketches of our thoughts and they loved it. So we were off and running....
The process is a bit 'sculptural' from here. And finding just the right antiques is a challenge. But we did! We incorporated some antique skis, horse harnesses, an antique wheel and drain along with some antique pulleys.
It softened the space and adding a lot of intrigue. Definitely a statement piece!
The clients were thrilled with the final results. And they said we could quote them...
"It's even better than we could have ever imagined it could be."
