An Organic Chandelier Made from Decommissioned NYC Water Towers
You might think sourcing wood in New York City is a challenge. But furniture maker Richard Haining doesn't visit a hardwood supplier; instead he avails himself of "the abundance of wood being discarded throughout NYC, from woodshop offcuts to old growth lumber scrapped from the pre-war buildings of NYC's architectural landscape. This 'waste' has become the building blocks of his signature STACKED Collection."Haining salvaged a bunch of California Redwood pieces from decommissioned NYC Water Towers. The resultant material was incorporated into this STACKED 10-Bulb Chandelier: The chandelier is 36" in diameter, and its ten LED bulbs are all fully dimmable. The piece is for sale (price undisclosed), but is obviously a one-off as opposed to a production piece.The other lighting pieces in Haining's STACKED series are also worth a gander:Plenty more to see here.
