Nebu vintage glass chandelier
My friend loved this chandelier, which was part of the Brooklyn Designs exhibit at ICFF. She thought it would look great over her kitchen island instead of the existing pot rack. 
The Nebu Chandelier was originally designed as a commission for Bar Breton, in New York. It was such a hit that the company decided to turn it into a product.
Nebu is completely customizable – they’ll make you one in any size you like. It’s fashioned from cut acrylic and vintage glassware, which they find at garage sales, on eBay, just about anywhere.
I very much prefer this version made from clear acrylic. It shows off the glassware.
Nebu walks a fine line between Light as Art and a One-Trick Pony (something that’s cute for a little while and then seems silly. Which side do you think it’s on?

Definitely something I would love forever. I saw a price online that put it around $1100, which is a steal compared to the ultra-colorful Venetian glass chandeliers that I think are just gorgeous. I’ve seen those run into the hundreds of thousands. Thanks for posting this. It’s going on my wish list for a day when I have higher ceilings.
Oh I cannot tolerate a curlycue.
