Chicago Residence Chandelier Design Craig and Co

A chandelier for a dining room..Among the more interesting details is the welded chain which attaches directly to the chandelier body.. after about 18 inches the chain is unwelded and hangs naturally. Craig and Co wanted continuous chain instead of a rod going to chain. If the chain were unwelded the chandelier would wobble and not balance correctly, so welding the first section to the body was both aesthetic and necessary. Note the 3D drawing shows an early drawing with rods, part of the process of getting the fixture right.
