Vortex Chandelier / Zaha Hadid Architects

The Vortex Chandelier is in line with the series of furniture pieces, which is also a collaboration of designers Zaha HadidPatrik Schumacher and Sawaya & Moroni. The Chandelier’s Opaque surface etches two transparent acrylic light spirals and a recessed LED light strip provides animated and programmable light sensations. Its complex curvilinearity follows a double helix connecting its beginning to its end and therefore forming an endless ribbon of light. In plan the object resembles a star with its protrusions pointing outwards from the center, emphasizing an imaginary centrifugal force.

Amazing, easily one of my favourite lighting designs, first saw it when I went to university.
