Yuriko Chandelier

As if it has sprouted three pairs of lily petals that arc delicately away from each other, the Yuriko Chandelier is a crisp white creation until the interiors of those petals are glimpsed, as they are finished in a contemporary gold leaf that contrasts the gesso white beautifully. The brilliance of this design by Tom Caldwell doesn't stop there: it continues in the pare-down quality of the stems from which the shades extend, which grow thinner as they move toward the petals, the circular details on these, which create an elemental knottiness like that of bamboo, and the elegant shape of the small cup from which they branch out.
