Black is back on stage again
The leading designers are always in search of something new. Today, the interior design is poised with crystal and black. And what about fusing the two?
SPINA, a well-known luxury London-based designer company, has recently launched its new chandelier collection. To celebrate this moment, SPINA designed a large centrepiece chandelier for Decorex International 2005 – the United Kingdom's prominent interior design show.
“We wanted to combine crystal and textile into an attractive chandelier design, a black one,” comments Joe Zito, one of the two associates of SPINA. “Crystal is a traditional material in lighting but textile is unusual. So we combined the two things we have experience with. The upper part of the chandelier is made of black stone chains, the lower part of textile strips with black beads. And the final touch – we wrapped the lower part with one chain of custom-made roses. This was the creation of Black Narcissus.”
The giant lighting sculpture has been a success. It received great attraction, people kept asking about it. Black is trendy now – the exciting designs will come.
