Los Angeles-based, Texas-born glass designer Alison Berger has added this Mirrored Pendant Chandelier for her collection. Inspired by mercury glass and the outlines of the complex Baroque chandeliers, the chandelier with mirror combines these two aesthetics in a contemporary way. To get the mirror effect, Berger uses a technique by which oxidizes colored glass in the glass surface, resulting in a mirror effect of sterling silver, which when lit, it glows red. The apparatus consists of twenty-glass pendants in different heights from 6.5″ – 8″. Brushed nickel hardware adds another layer of ornamental detail of the piece. The prototype of this lamp is currently available in the Holly Hunt showroom in Miami.

I’m genuinely amazed at the quality and effort that went into the 400+ submissions to the remix challenge over on hitRECord — where members of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s creative community warped two images from his upcoming BlackBook photo shoot in whatever way they fancied. And they only had three days to do it! (The above from Lawrie Brewster is one of many, many personal favorites.) We’ll run a few selections alongside that story in our October issue, but I could put out a whole issue of these.
