It's 48" in Diameter and about 40" tall and is fabricated out of Aluminum tubing and sheet with the leaves created using Fold Forming and a custom made chain. Every single piece was custom made. It has dimming incandescent lights and blue LED lights on two different switches so you can vary the look. It was a huge learning experience figuring out how to create a light that looked great, could function as it was supposed to, and could be maintained/repaired without using a plasma torch, in fact, many pieces were made at least two times as i foresaw hurdles in replacing lights, wiring, etc. I can't wait to do another one, especially since I've muscled out most of the pitfalls.</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier#comment aluminum chandelier fold forming LED light lighting Metal work Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:26:58 -0500 eligius1427 11518 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_4 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_4"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/P1011039 (Large).thumbnail.JPG" alt="Aluminum Chandelier 4" title="Aluminum Chandelier 4" class="image thumbnail" width="144" height="108" /></a><br /> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_4#comment Furniture Gallery aluminum chandelier fold forming LED light lighting Metal work Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:22:55 -0500 eligius1427 11517 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_3 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_3"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/30301_0837 (Large).thumbnail.jpg" alt="Aluminum Chandelier 3" title="Aluminum Chandelier 3" class="image thumbnail" width="96" height="144" /></a><br /> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_3#comment Furniture Gallery aluminum chandelier fold forming LED light lighting Metal work Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:22:17 -0500 eligius1427 11516 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_2 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_2"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/30301_0791_XDR (Large).thumbnail.jpg" alt="Aluminum Chandelier 2" title="Aluminum Chandelier 2" class="image thumbnail" width="144" height="96" /></a><br /> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_2#comment Furniture Gallery aluminum chandelier fold forming LED light lighting Metal work Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:21:35 -0500 eligius1427 11515 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_1 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <a href="/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_1"><img src="http://www.artmetal.com/files/images/30301_0854_XDR (Large).thumbnail.jpg" alt="Aluminum Chandelier 1" title="Aluminum Chandelier 1" class="image thumbnail" width="96" height="144" /></a><br /> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.artmetal.com/images/furniture_gallery/eligius1427/2011/08/aluminum_chandelier_1#comment Furniture Gallery aluminum chandelier fold forming LED light lighting Metal work Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:20:53 -0500 eligius1427 11514 at http://www.artmetal.com http://www.artmetal.com/blog/iceforge/2011/07/annual_summer_fold_form_conference_with_charles_lewton_brain <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>4th Annual Fold Form Conference with Charles Lewton-Brain at the Center for Metal Arts in downstate NY July 21-24, 2011--two memorable days of face-time with Charles Lewton-Brain at the work bench, demonstrating all eight families of fold forms plus many variations.
