White Swan

White Swan

With the lightness and grace of a ballet-dancer, the chandelier adorns the ceiling of the hall in the Kazakh National Academy of Choreography in Astana with thousands of pure white components.

Light as a Ballet Skirt

As the reflection of the fluttering petticoat of a ballet-dancer, the chandelier imitates the gentle movements of the costume that can be captured in the beautiful art performance on stage.

Respect to the Tradition

The lighting sculpture refers to the grand tradition of ballet and dance. The central chandelier in the theater creates an intricate pattern that changes as viewers pass by.

Design story

The design concept is built around the idea of Bohemian lace, a fabric that is an integral part of dance costume design. It is also close to dance in its essence, lightness and intricate beauty.

Components

The sculpture is composed of thousands of hand-blown clear glass bubbles arranged into a circle that is more than 13 meters in diameter and lit with LED downlights.

Installation

Each bubble is individually hung in a precise position to create a three-dimensional effect of draped sparky strings typical for traditional chandeliers.

Transport

Two giant semi-trailers had to be sent to bring the boxes with the chandelier to the site.

Light in space

Thousands of glass bubbles capture the onlookers with its beauty, as well as the performance on stage. Just like in ballet, it is all about the momentum and focal point.
