HULTON deux montures de plafond léger

In 1958, Abraham Kleinberg started Crystorama in New York, specializing in the cut crystal of Bohemia. More than sixty years later the company still works in crystal, but it has never been content to repeat itself. The tiered, glittering chandeliers are still there, and beside them hang slim geometric pendants and sconces that would look just as natural in a modern loft.

What connects them is a jeweller's eye. Crystorama sets faceted crystal against wrought iron and polished metal, and applies its finishes by hand, so the frame looks as considered as the glass it holds. The catalogue covers chandeliers, pendants and sconces, along with a selection of home décor and furniture. Some Crystorama designs lean fully into glamour. Others use only a few prisms, just enough to catch the evening light above a table. Either way, the sparkle is placed with care rather than scattered.
