Wallpaper’s February issue is entirely dedicated to the Best Design Awards. Included in the categories there’s the Best Oddity, which was won by ‘Mediterraneo’, a chandelier created by Italian designer/artist Gaetano Pesce for Swarovski Crystal Palace. Nick Compton writes in Wallpaper: “Given Pesce’s long passion for primary colours and wild plasticity, his offering was never going to glow gently into that good night. And so it turned out. At first glance, ‘Mediterraneo’ looks like a rather traditional chandelier. But then it starts to shift, move, breathe, dance, talk and even give off aquatic scents. It has 140 strands, each made up of 87 LED-illuminated Swarovski crystals that change in colour and radiance, and it can be remotely instructed to ebb, flow, glow, bulge and balloon, as you, the entranced viewer, gaze up at the giant jellyfish of your dreams, or nightmares.”
