Murmuration Chandelier, by Harvey & John

By

The Murmuration Chandelier is a kinetic lighting sculpture inspired by the murmuration of starlings.

The piece comprises 20 rings that taper in diameter, finished with patinated steel. Abstract starling shapes are laser cut from each ring that all align at a certain point in its spiralling sequence.

Designers Harvey & John say: “When you look at a murmuration, the birds can seem randomly scattered across the sky – but then in a moment they align to make a beautiful shape and pattern.

“Like this, the chandelier fleets in and out from seeming disorder to precise spiralling patterns and shapes.”
