Chandeliers in various styles sometimes represent a whole work of art. But especially sophisticated users often choose an exclusive design created by a special project. Such products are often shocking for their unusual and become bright accents in the interior.

Designer lighting models are characterized by a number of features that distinguish them from standard store products:

• Chandelier can be a collection of several materials, the combination of which is rarely seen in typical models.Textiles and metal, wood and ceramics and many other materials that are rarely seen in tandem are combined together.
• Plafonds and decorative elements of similar products often resemble everyday objects, elements, celestial bodies, fanciful shapes, flowers and many other figures.
• Some models combine polar style directions. Signs of the classical style are diluted with the concept of futurism, vintage is presented through the prism of the avant-garde, techno style complements with its sharp elements ornate baroque lines.

• Due to the complexity of the forms and materials, such structures are difficult to maintain. Often the weave forms are so small that it becomes difficult to clean the chandeliers from dirt.

All chandeliers, including designer models, are divided into two main types: ceiling and pendant.

Ceiling structures are distinguished by the fact that their frame fits snugly to the surface of the ceiling. Usually, such products are flat in shape, but sometimes threads and other decorative elements that make the constructions more dimensional hang down from the frame. Designer ceiling chandeliers are often the whole panel that occupies part of the ceiling.

Suspended structures are a frame with shades, mounted on a cable. A cable can be presented in the form of various forms and materials: plastic cord, chain, rope, imitating a rope product. Such a chandelier takes up much more space than a ceiling chandelier and can include a huge variety of forms - from a colorful single ball to intertwined small spirals, from an angular wooden structure to imitations of silhouettes of animals and sea inhabitants.

Designer products can be presented in various variations, have almost any shape. The size of the products depends on the height and area of ​​the room and the role of the chandelier in the interior.

For dimensional rooms choose large models of lighting. Basically, they prefer pendant chandeliers, which sometimes have a length of more than a meter. Special models, made by cascade technology, can even reach two meters in length.

Quite wide models can be found among the ceiling structures; they occupy a significant portion of the ceiling and look presentable only in large-scale premises.

Designers embody their imagination in the combination of materials for chandeliers. The main types of raw materials are as follows:

• Metal - durable and durable material that is combined with wood and plastic. But designers managed to combine metal, even with glass and crystal.
• Tree It is a material for both solid handmade ceilings and for exclusive models with holes and a spiral structure. Wood is a material in which the designer can embody almost any shape, it serves both as a frame and as the main material for the structure.
• The main advantage plastic - its ability to imitate other textures. It can appear before us as a chandelier shimmering with all the spectra or a monochromatic design of an elegant form. Plastic in combination with glass and metal creates special light spectra in the chandelier, which, when turned on, form a fancy pattern on the ceiling.

• Some styles are perfect designer chandeliers from glass. Although this material is fragile, it is embodied in stunning elegant forms. Glass products are transparent, colored, dull. Glass is used in large chandeliers to create fancy hanging garlands. Designers give glass a variety of shapes to make your apartment as original as possible.
• Fabric Lamp shades are popular not only for Chinese lamps, but also for many other areas.Exclusive models suggest the location of the fabric on the frame of a special form. Usually the material is located in a tensioned position, so that the geometry of the product is not disturbed.
• Those who can afford to purchase products from crystal, designers offer chandeliers of the highest complexity and originality. Technologies help to create such models, the frame of which is practically invisible, the chandelier itself is like a train of sparks hanging in the air.
