Object of Lust: Urchin Chandelier by HelenBilt

Created by Helen Gifford of HelenBilt, the Urchin Light Sculpture is composed of hundreds of crystal clear bulbs, but illuminated by just one. The others are repurposed bulbs put to use forming the body of this delicate sphere. Heavenly.

The lights are made to order in a variety of sizes, but pricing is not for the faint of heart. (FYI: Gwynie owns one, so you do the math.)

The 18-inch version, for instance, is $3,200 from YLighting. Sigh ...
