Refer + Staer

I rarely feature lighting on this site, but I was really taken with this chandelier from Danish designers Refer and Staer at ICFF this year. It is made from strands of fiber optics. The transparent fibers create a sparkling and airy feeling. Called "Black Fiber," it's available with or without a downlight in the center of the lamp shade. The chandelier Kari and I bought for our dining room (bottom photo) is made of 20+ small halogen lights, and we love the effect so many bulbs can make. Very elegant.
