Paul Cocksedge rethinks traditional chandeliers with the
Gravity Chandelier , designed in partnership with
Mooi . The product is the result of almost a decade of research and experimentation by Cocksedge, whose goal was
to transform the rigidity of traditional chandeliers into elasticity , allowing the user to decide the size of its diameter and choose where the light should travel, but leaving to gravity the power to define its shape.
“The Gravity Chandelier is about me looking at something that is made as a rigid thing.
And imagining it as something very light and flexible .” A wide range of fabrics and ropes were tested for their ability to create elegant, flowing arches. "I wanted to redesign the traditional chandelier," said Cocksedge, "which is usually made from solid, rigid pieces of metal, and the Gravity Chandelier is a contrast to that."
