neon. chandelier.

The idea of a chandelier made out of neon sounds...well, horrifying really, but designer Matt Dilling has pulled it off. I can't quite call it elegant because the overly exaggerated "bulbs" look altogether too cartoony for my tastes, but this is a far cry from the beer signs and diner clocks my mind flashes to when I hear "neon."

special. tubes.
There's some technical stuff about how it blends special tubes to create warm tones, blah blah, which seems to mean it kicks off a nice, warm chandelier-like light...a definite plus if you want to hang it over your dining room table. The standard size is 25 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches and costs $2,400. Custom sizes and colors are available too.
