Grand Sculptural Chandelier Areva – Cascading Acrylic Shades

A Living Sculpture of Light

The Shades chandelier does not simply illuminate a room — it transforms it. Dozens of sculptural acrylic shades cascade freely from a circular gold canopy, each one twisted and shaped like a fragment of frozen silk caught mid-drift. Suspended at varying heights across a waterfall of slender wires, the composition is fluid, organic, and unlike anything produced by a conventional chandelier. Whether viewed from below, the side, or across a double-height foyer, the Shades commands attention with the quiet authority of a museum installation.

Cascading Acrylic Shades

Each shade is individually crafted from translucent acrylic, shaped into a fluid, billowing form with gently crimped edges and a warm-toned frame. When illuminated, the LED embedded within each panel casts a soft, diffuse glow that ripples across the surface — creating the illusion of light flowing through fabric. The material is lightweight yet structurally precise, ensuring each shade maintains its sculptural curvature over time without yellowing or warping. The gold canopy is finished in brushed brass-tone metal, lending an understated luxe quality to the ceiling mount.

Four Sizes, One Grand Vision

The Shades is available in four configurations designed to scale with your architecture. The 8-Light version (Ø50 × H150 cm) suits high-ceilinged bedrooms and private sitting rooms. The 12-Light (Ø60 × H200 cm) brings sculpture to dining rooms and home libraries. The 18-Light (Ø70 × H250 cm) was designed for double-height living spaces and open-plan lofts. The 28-Light (Ø80 × H300 cm) is a genuine architectural statement — the natural centrepiece of hotel lobbies, grand stairwells, and villa reception halls. All four versions ship with a 1.5 m adjustable cord, trimable to suit ceiling height.

Three Colour Expressions

The Shades is offered in Gold, Silver, and White — each producing a distinct atmospheric effect. Gold brings warmth and opulence, with the brass canopy and golden-tinted shades evoking old-world glamour reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Silver offers a cooler, more architectural tone suited to minimalist and industrial interiors. White achieves a purity that suits Scandinavian and coastal spaces, with the translucent shades appearing almost ethereal when lit against pale walls or high-gloss ceilings.

Soft, Enveloping Illumination

The integrated LED technology delivers a warm white light at 3000 K — the ideal temperature to bring out wood tones, stone surfaces, and fabric textures. The Shades is fully dimmable, allowing you to shift from a dramatic ambient glow for evening entertaining to a softer, intimate warmth for everyday living. With a voltage range of 90–260 V, it is compatible with electrical systems across Europe, the UK, North America, and beyond, making it an effortless choice for international projects and luxury hospitality installations.

Installation

The Shades installs via a standard ceiling pendant mount, with each suspension wire pre-assembled through the canopy. The adjustable cord accommodates ceiling heights from 2.5 m to 5 m and beyond, making it suitable for both residential rooms and commercial double-height spaces. All necessary hardware is included. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended for the larger 18-Light and 28-Light configurations due to their weight and scale.

Designed for Exceptional Interiors

The Shades belongs in spaces that take design seriously: a grand foyer where guests arrive expecting to be moved, a living room anchored by an architectural presence rather than a decorative accessory, a stairwell that becomes a journey rather than a route. It suits contemporary interiors with raw textures and bold materials, as well as classical settings where the contrast between modern sculpture and ornate architecture creates genuine visual tension. Choose the Shades when you want a light that earns its place on the ceiling — and commands every room beneath it.
