ODE1647 is a new piece from Jacco Maris Design. It’s quite an impressive design, and I can see it working in a modern interior.

As the name implies, the ode 1647 collection is an ode to the luxurious chandeliers of the early 17th century.  The number 47 refers to the atomic number for silver. By using exciting new materials, we have created an entirely new and modern language of form. The arms are formed of braided copper with a UV coating. The ode 1647 is designed by Jacco Maris and Ben Quaedvlieg.

Clear, kiln-formed glass was used to create the three hundred and eighty six fish in this lovely hanging lighting fixture by Scabetti. The structure of the piece resembles that of a school of fish swimming together in a whirlwind formation.

Unfortunately, this lighting fixture designed and built by Kevin Champeny from Jellio isn’t made with real Gummi bears. Instead, it’s made with approximately two thousand acrylic Gummi bears. Each fixture takes over a month to complete and it would make a sweet addition to any household.

Cut Glasses Chandelier
This chandelier has its roots in the past but its heart in the present. Available as a single drop of 150 glasses (150+1) or double drop of 300 glasses (the +1 refers to John himself being the final craftsman who has brought together generations of others to create a truly unique work).

We don’t do gift guides here on Design Milk because, well, everyone does them. We like to be different. So we decided to go in another direction this year. Since our staff is getting larger, we thought it would be fun to ask each person what was on their wishlist this holiday season. So, every day for next 2 weeks we’ll feature a staff wishlist. Here’s what Annie’s list includes:

1. Linea Ice Oro at Gretel
Thinking that an incredibly gorgeous set of flatware will inspire me to cook more incredibly wonderful meals!

2. Bubble Chandelier by Jean Pelle
Just because it’s beautiful, do I really need a better reason?!  Oh and because I’m obsessed with lighting!

3. Mushroom Nos Da Blanket at Gretel
I love a super soft blanket and I love pattern!  Also don’t know if my tiny radiator is going to keep me warm this winter.

4. Nomadic Wonderland by Eunsuk Hur
This will look absolutely gorgeous with my new sofa…wink wink.  The fact that it’s an interchangeable modular system that I can transform is amazing!

5. Joie Refugee Lace Up Boot from Shopbop
I can’t bear to part with my perfectly worn in boots I’ve had for years, but I think it’s time.  These boots may be just what it takes to make me forget about them!  The perfect mix of combat and riding boot…gorgeous!

6. B14 Bathsystem by Boffi
Because a girl can dream, right?!

7. Alaskan Malamute puppy photo by Rigor & Samnooshka
It’s the cutest puppy in the world!  If you’re looking to adopt this holiday be sure to check your local shelters!

8. Faceted Wooden Rock by Kindling Shop
These would make the perfect centerpiece for my dining table.

9. Fuji Instax Instant Camera at Photojojo
So I can simplify just one thing in my life!

10. Sketchbook 2009 Drawing 16 of 32 by Ms. Jaime Derringer
Because it is awesome.  When and if she decides to sell this one…I’ve got first dibs!  So for now it’s just on my wishlist!

11. Boyd Sofa by Pinch Design
Really looking forward to snuggling with my new puppy on this “ultimate curl-up” sofa.  I swear he won’t chew on the legs!

Graham and Green’s transparent wire chandelier reminds me of a bridge cable frenzy.

Hong Kong designer Winnie Lui constructed this chandelier out of toys and other everyday objects, making a unique and beautiful lighting fixture that certainly isn’t “everyday.” The assembly of objects in the chandelier produce an interesting play of shadows when it is lit.

Having had much interest in their paper and cardboard products at Tent London this year the father and son duo at Liquidesign have created the Edge Chandelier. This chandelier is made from light but strong cardboard, and the thick corrugated edges have been left exposed to show the integral structure. On the outside, the flat surface is covered in a variety of original, decorative prints for a unique modern-meets-traditional look.

This stunning chandelier is a collaboration by Lesley Wells and Michael Broome and is made from 100% recycled materials.

Thanks, Patrick!
