Claire de Lune Chandelier: A Modern Twist on an Iconic Design

Combining Elegance, Functionality, and Sustainability

From a desire to purchase a chandelier in a modern style and material, designer Claire Requa created the Claire de Lune Chandelier. This unique lighting fixture offers a fresh take on an iconic design, incorporating elements of romance, fairy tales, and Eastern philosophy. With its flat-pack design and eco-friendly packaging, it aims to reduce carbon footprint while providing a touch of magic to any space.

The Claire de Lune Chandelier stands out from other lighting fixtures with its decorative and enchanting qualities. Made from laser-cut acrylic, it exudes a baroque and romantic charm, reminiscent of a bygone era. The lamp is sold in a flat-pack format, allowing for easy shipping and assembly. It comes packaged in a reusable carrier bag, showcasing the designer's commitment to sustainability.

Measuring 45 x 55 cm in its original size, the Claire de Lune Chandelier also offers a larger version, measuring 62 x 83 cm. It features a transparent electric cord with a chrome light socket and ceiling canopy, adding a touch of modernity to its overall design.

Creating the Claire de Lune Chandelier was not without its challenges. Designer Claire Requa spent months refining the design, mechanics, and materials, ensuring that every detail met her vision. Overcoming language barriers and working with multiple suppliers, she persevered to create a product that captured the essence of baroque and rococo styles while using modern materials.

The Claire de Lune Chandelier has garnered recognition and acclaim since its inception. It has been exhibited in trade fairs around the world, including Frankfurt, Paris, London, New York, Cologne, and Rimini. In 2012, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category, highlighting its innovative and resourceful design.

With its timeless appeal and whimsical charm, the Claire de Lune Chandelier offers a touch of luxury and culture to any space. Its flat-pack design not only makes it easy to transport and assemble but also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. By providing an affordable version of a grandiose and luxurious product, Claire Requa has created a design that combines elegance, functionality, and sustainability.
