Refreshing a traditional interior doesn’t necessarily mean a global makeover of an entire room. You don’t need to rip up floors and tear down walls.

This playful glass bead chandelier has become a modern element of a very traditional living room with a marble mantel, massive window frames and stucco ceilings. And all together they look great!

They create an interesting image without attracting undue attention to themselves precisely due to the fact that they are not located in the same row and at the same level..
The snow-white decor of a spacious living room would be pretty ordinary without such an extravagant chandelier, reminiscent of an unfinished bird’s nest. The device marks the boundaries of the dining area, but it does it very delicately, without making the space heavy.
