Mille Nuits

Mille Nuits
Designer: Robert Mathias
Manufacturer: Baccarat
MSRP: $11,325-$15,000

Baccarat has recently been courting a new audience - one who's image of the company begins and ends with crystal goblets. Amongst their most successful new designs is Mille Nuits, the chandelier that turns that image on its head. Forget the sharp edges and ubiquitous jewel cuts - this is an undulating, fascinating work of art. With its playful take on classical proportions and unexpected details (the octopus-like arms with their chisled hanging pendants - they had to put it somewhere - its Baccarat after all), this is one of the most covetable chandeliers seen in years. The collection includes chandeliers, hurricane shade, hurricane shade holders, and a ceiling unit.
