Modern Paper Lighting

On the Deco Detective this morning, I saw this absolutely spectacular paper chandelier made by an artist by the name of James Vance.

Paper Chandelier by James Vance for Bergdorf Goodman Vance designed this piece, and several others for the Bergdorf Goodman window display in New York City. Vance is a true genius, having worked previously as a window dresser, set designer, prop stylist, interior designer and a slew of other artistically-motivated careers. According to an interview with the artist posted on the Rochambeau blog, Vance has been doing window displays for Bergdorf Goodman for the past few years. Here's hoping this beautiful partnership continues!

Thanks for the comments! Yes, that James Vance is just so elegant! I love it! It looks both delicate and heavy at the same time. I might have to take a trip to Bergdorf Goodman to see it...that is if it's still there!

Thanks for the mention dear! I hope everyone who reads this also visits Rochambeau, who, as Jamie said, featured James Vance before me =)
