The chandelier "Lighthouse" reinterprets the lighthouse's light by combining the groundbreaking invention of the Fresnel lens with modern lens technology in an experimental piece. The lighthouse symbolizes hope, inspiration, and encouragement - a marker that guides us safely through life's challenges.
The modern Fresnel lenses create a magical, playful light that sparks curiosity and reflection. As a symbolic beacon, the light provides guidance and wondrous experiences for those who encounter it on their journey.

The chandelier offers several optical experiences. In natural daylight, the lenses have a bluish appearance, while in the evening, the lenses become clear and the light takes on a warmer tone.
