The ICE chandelier by Daniel Libeskind challenges the traditionally round forms of Czech hand-blown glass with a sharp, angular design. The result is a spectacular deformation of geometric elements that fit together like a puzzle inside a 1m equilateral triangle. Such triangles can be placed together in a modular way to create different compositions horizontally, and so can be uniquely adapted to a wide variety of spaces. The glass elements capture light, refracting and splitting it into prisms, so that each column glows differently, and the ensemble looks like a city of glass or the vitrified leaves in JG Ballard’s Crystal Forest.
