Twisting, vine-like arms in a warm, burnished brown form an open, organic frame, from which hand-shaped flowers and leaves unfurl. Soft pink blossoms with delicately veined petals appear to float along the vines, their glossy surfaces catching the light like fresh petals after rain.

Interspersed among the blossoms are vibrant green leaves, textured and slightly irregular, reinforcing the piece’s natural, living quality. Candle sleeves rise from sculpted flower cups—white petals encircling sunny yellow centers—transforming each light into the heart of a flower in bloom. Above, a central stem ascends to a crown-like yellow blossom, completing the chandelier’s vertical rhythm and giving the impression of upward growth.

The overall effect is whimsical yet elegant, evoking a romantic garden trellis or a fairy-tale arbor. Equal parts lighting fixture and sculptural artwork, the chandelier blurs the boundary between nature and ornament, bringing a sense of perpetual spring and gentle fantasy into the space it inhabits.
