Drape Circle 28 Chandelier by SkLO

The Drape Circle 28 Chandelier consists of 28 individual pendants gathered and supported by a series of tiered brass rings. Each pendant features a 4.5"/110mm diameter diffuser of handblown Czech glass suspended on a fabric-wrapped electrical cord. The cords pass through and are connected to the rings. The glass diffusers are available in both "dipped" glass, featuring the SkLO double-dipped flame-polished mouth and "textured" glass, featuring a soft, frosted finish and subtle sculpted vertical ridges. Cord lengths are field adjustable. Multiple compositions possible - drawing+dimension above represent only one recommended possibility.

About Drape Circle 28 Chandelier

Glass shaped by hand

The glass spheres of the Drape Circle 28 Chandelier are formed by hand, allowing them to be slightly imperfect to express their handmade origins. The "dipped" glass options feature an irregular, open mouth, created by double-dipping the piece into the molten glass crucible, followed by breaking the piece from the pipe and fire-polishing the opening - a purposeful expression of craft and the act of glassblowing. The "textured" glass diffusers have no opening. Their surface is frosted and features a subtle pattern of lines etched into the glass for a moody and classic look.

For large spaces and volumes

The larger version of the Drape Circle 18 Chandelier (we added a fourth larger ring), the Drape Circle 28 Chandelier is the chandelier for large, imposing spaces. A modern, minimal take on the classic tiered chandelier, the ability of this simple chandelier to take on infinite different compositions by changing the locations and relationships between the different rings and the rings and their pendants is what makes this chandelier so impressive. Using multiple smaller elements to achieve a larger whole is a hallmark of SkLO design. It works just as well within classic and historic interiors as well as it does within modern ones.

The possibilities of simplicity

The Drape collection is an investigation into the potential behind the idea of a simple cord-suspended glass pendant that displays the quality and variation of SkLO handblown glass. It begins, necessarily, with the basic Drape Pendant itself. But from there, minimal additions are made - opportunities to enhance the structure, scale, and design of the diverse series comprising the Drape collection, including the Drape Circle, Drape Arm, Drape Skirt, and many more.
