The mystical appearance of a brand new chandelier design broke into the world of interiors in late 2011 during Art Basel Miami Beach. The eL light is a bold, illuminating fixture that breaks down conventional boundaries of pendant lamp size and chandelier stature as a nine-foot, steel spectacle that exudes architect Daniel Libeskind‘s artistic edge.

Said to mimic and reproduce a sort of cosmic light that fills the Universe, architect Daniel Libeskind and the Austrian lighting company known as Zumtobel collaborated on the limited edition piece. It was unveiled for the first time inside of the Art Collector Lounge at Art Basel from the 1st to the 4th of December, 2011 and made quite the statement with a stunning use of technology and artistry.

Said to have worked with his son, Dr. Noam I Libeskind – an astrophysicist at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam – architect Daniel Libeskind wanted the eL light’s LED bulbs to represent “the Big Bang and the Universe’s expansion” using color variation and what appears to be galaxies that evolve throughout the piece.
