Bruce Munro is a London based artist that is renowned for his passion for light in all it’s forms.  He sent us images of one of his latest designs called Snowball Chandelier that was installed at 64 Knightsbridge, London this October 2008.

Here is more info from Bruce Munro:

The chandelier measures 3 meters in diameter, with a 2 meter drop. It is made of 150 hand blown clear glass spheres measuring 20cm in diameter each, hanging in canopy formation. Munro’s chandelier is lit with fibre optics powered by a DMX projector. The colour-changing light is projected down the optical fibres, and each fibre ends curled into a glass sphere. Each fibre is 1.5mm thick.

A circular stainless steel plate has been secured to the ceiling for added strength. A floating ceiling was specially made and installed, in order to make the chandelier fit in the recessed ceiling correctly.

64 Knightsbridge are high-design serviced and virtual offices run by Emma Hunt. Designer style is the standard throughout and highlights include a masterful sofa in silver steel by the legendary product designer Ron Arad. Bruce Munro’s Mega Snowball chandelier is hung in the entrance lobby and is visible from the street.

Bruce Munro has designed and made several versions of the Snowball chandelier, principally for Babington House private members club in Somerset.
