Glass Wrecking Ball

H 36" W 30" D 30"
This client approached us with a very rough drawing of a wrecking ball requiring a 30" width and access to the interior enabling him to place debris from Havana Cuba inside. We hand blew the sphere with a 6" opening and designed a mechanism that held the cap in place, giving the artist a beautifully simple hanging solution.
Coastal Chandelier
Made for Walter Delogi
Designed by Kanik Chung
Hand Blown glass
H 42" W 52" D 52"
This client requested a chandelier for above the dining room table with only two specifications. It was to be white and produced in the Venetian style. Intended for a coastal home, I incorporated traditional Venetian bowl, light cups and armbacks, but diverted the design of the chandelier arms to reflect the coastal setting. Thus, each arm reaches out in a random pattern, amorphous and almost jellyfish like. In addition, an elongated glass stem to the ceiling and a custom made finial completes the natural illusion.
