Chandelier from Hilden & Diaz that projects 360 degrees of shadows and roots. More at this is Colossal.

This is an absolutely amazing chandelier. I love the texture it creates…

I love the combination of artificial light and natural form.

I love this classic chandelier. It’s about 7 feet in diameter.

It’s an iconic chandelier, and now it uses 83% less energy.

You know those 3D star-sahepd metal lantern/lights that were being sold everywhere for a while in trendy home goods places? This chandelier is like the original, giant monster version of those. Meanwhile this is possibly my favorite photo from this one photoset.

From Wikipedia:

Hildreth Meiere, a New York-based tile and mosaic designer, working with Alexander, was responsible for much of the original interior design. She collaborated closely with the Guastavino Company of New York to create the elaborate tile vaulting, which is both structural and decorative. Buffaloes, corn, wheat, sunflowers, and wild native animals motifs are repeated throughout the building’s ornament. The theme of Meiere’s work is nature and the cultivation of the prairie.

Gorgeous lamps.

From Wikipedia:

The architectural competition program was written by Omaha architect Thomas R. Kimball, then president of the American Institute of Architects. The competition guidelines were innovative because they did not define plan, style, or material for the building. The program did specify, however, that they wanted an architect who would assemble a team (including sculpture, painter, and landscapist) to create a unified appearance.
