Artist Harry Nuriev has designed a new chandelier for the luxury crystal house Baccarat. The piece, titled "Everyday Chandelier," replaces a portion of the traditional, ornate crystal components with mass-produced, utilitarian objects like plastic cups, water bottles, and light bulbs.
This collaboration represents a significant departure for the 260-year-old French brand, known for its opulent, all-crystal designs. The work challenges traditional notions of luxury and value by elevating mundane items, reflecting a contemporary artistic dialogue about consumerism, sustainability, and the democratization of design within the high-end decorative arts market.
