Royal Ontario Museum Chandelier

Toronto, Canada

Designed by Daniel Libeskind and donated by Swarovski, the Spirit House Chandelier will be installed on the staircase between the Level 4 Institute for Contemporary Culture Gallery and the Level 5 Crystal Five (C5) Restaurant Lounge.

Made from aluminium tubing, the chandelier will sparkle with more than 100,000 encrusted Swarovski crystals.  The crystals will be lit from underneath by LED lighting technology, creating a delicate, glowing lace.  

The inspiration for the dramatic, 29-foot long Libeskind-designed chandelier is the complex, structural steel skeleton that is now hidden under the glass and aluminium skin of the Lee-Chin Crystal.  The intricate configuration of this one-of-a-kind lighting fixture is an inverted wireframe model reinterpreting the edges of the building’s architecture, which will stretch across the ceiling to emphasize the oblique corners of Libeskind’s contemporary design.
