Crizzle Chandeliers

1. Crizzle Chandeliers

The 'Crizzle' Range. New for 2015, 'Crizzle' derives from a Roman technique, where you plunge the glass, still at around 950°c, into and out of cold water. The Integrity of the glass is restored through several reheats.

Typically we use three sizes in the 'Crizzle', these range from 100mm up to 150 mm diameter.

Produced for a client near Peterborough this Crizzle chandelier contains 27 Crizzle spheres, each with a diameter of between 100 and 130 mm diameter with a 750 mm diameter polished stainless steel top plate. This commission worked well with the mirrored surface creating a focal point at the centre of both the specially built lit ceiling detail and the hallway itself.

This commission contains 81 Crizzle spheres and measures just under 7m in length; this assembly stretched our resources at the Trench farm studio and so we borrowed a friends warehouse to assemble and test the chandelier. This commission is destined for a private client who resides on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.

A small chandelier can really enhance a room - Applegate Homes in London commissioned this 9 ball light fitting - all done with 150 mm diameter spheres.

This fitting had to be very slim to fit in between the two skylights.

This London based client wanted a real feature down through 3 floors . We normally like to become involved on a New Build project on or before 'first fix' so that we can specify where the driver is situated. In this case there was no electrical supply available!

15. Crizzle Chandeliers

We normally like the driver to be isolated between the feed and the chandelier, just so, should the need arise in the future, it can be accessed and swopped out without taking the chandelier apart.

In this case there was no electrical supply to the fitting what so ever; in the end we utilised a feed from the down lights and operated the on/off function via a remote controlled RF switch.

We have just installed a large 53 sphere Crizzle in the atrium of a new Lifestyle Tower in Docklands - soon to open but as yet undisclosed.

All our chandeliers are bespoke and made from scratch in the UK . Specifying one of our chandeliers into a house often has to take into account non standard architecture; be it a sloped ceiling or tight apex .The interface between our chandelier and the building structure is often a major point of discussion and in 99% of cases we have a solution.

In this installation we provided bespoke ceiling brackets that were fixed to the internal structure of the ceiling and used to drop 4 x 3mm wound stainless steel cables that then engaged with specially designed clutch tensioners fitted to the rear of the top plate.

This image shows clearly the simplicity of our glass fittings. Each 'Crizzle' glass ball is glued into a polished stainless steel shank which in turn is fitted to the clear twin core cable and retained via a polished aluminium cap and two M5 stainless grub screws. This makes both the glass and LED replaceable with ease although in normal use the LED will last over 10 years.
