I came across this amazing kitchen design by Pitsou Kedem in Architectural Digest yesterday. My eyes were instantly drawn to that magnificent glass chandelier hanging over the dining area.  (Sorry, I couldn’t find a close-up of it.)  It’s constructed of interlocking glass loops and exquisitely handcrafted. Seeing this article inspired me to research other handcrafted glass chandeliers.

This piece is a Suzanne Guttman Glass creation.  The delicate hanging mechanism and minimal metalwork allow the glass to stand out.

In contrast, in this piece by Elizabeth Lyons of Lyons Glass the metalwork plays an important role as the armature, tying the piece together.  The metallic of the steel and glass are simply grand on this small piece.

This gorgeous opalescent and clear glass chandelier from Red Fern Glass is simply stunning.   Oh how I wish I had the space for such a piece.

So here’s hoping you find inspiration today, even in the seemingly small places!
