    "...and contain an electrified light source."
    Nice shade, but wouldn't LEDs be more futurey than a 60 watt frosted incandescent light bulb. And in plain sight...

    @lazyeight: Actually I was wondering about whether those bulbs were incandescent. They might be fluorescent actually - I've seen fluorescents in that shape that emit quite warm light. But honestly I have no idea. It bugs me that so many cool chandeliers still use incandescent.

    Every time you dust one of these, they look like they'll break.

    Damn. I saw the top picture on the front page and hoped it would transform between those three states. How? I have no clue, but it was the essence of cool.

    @BeccaSaurus Rex: Ahh, but flowers are symbolic of reproduction, since they ARE reproductive organs... damnit. Now I'm all Freudian this morning.
