When we first met with the client, they described the space not in terms of dimensions or functions — but in feelings.
“I need something... light. Something you barely see, but truly feel. Something that invites people to talk.”
This wasn’t a request for lighting. It was a call for atmosphere.
We envisioned a parametric light sculpture — a chandelier that captures the delicate, transient nature of smoke. A suspended moment of motion, translated into architecture.
The chandelier is composed of hundreds of custom crystal elements, suspended from floor to ceiling on nearly invisible threads. Each piece reflects and refracts light from recessed fixtures above, creating an ever-shifting luminous effect as viewers move around it. The form stays still — but the light dances.
This project involved a multi-software pipeline:
Real-time fluid simulation in EmberGen was used to create the initial shape of the smoke.
The selected frame was translated into 3D geometry and imported into Rhinoceros, where a custom Grasshopper script generated a precise distribution of light-diffusing elements.
The algorithm ensured production logic: minimal collisions, optimized density, and full integration with structural and lighting systems.
Final renders were completed in 3ds Max with physically accurate lighting to match the built environment.
This chandelier is not just a lighting fixture — it's an architectural experience, a spatial instrument that encourages conversation, reflection, and connection.
Whether used in hospitality design, a cultural venue, or a high-end residential space, this installation demonstrates how algorithmic design, parametric fabrication, and emotive storytelling can come together in one luminous piece.
