Welcome to the blog of the Contemporary Chandelier Company!

We would like this blog to become a platform where we can share our insights on what it means to be an artist, product designer, glassmaker and an independent UK chandelier producer. We understand that the expertise we have gained over the past 30 years is a short, narrow line, but we would like to share some of that knowledge in order to inspire other people; be it young artists on their way to discover what they want to do, or people who are just interested in what goes on behind the scenes.

Over the coming weeks and months, we will be sharing some of our stories and keeping you posted about what is happening at Contemporary Chandelier Company.
