Okay, here's the Pomp part... John Pomp, an incredible Brooklyn-based artist whose blown glass collections of tabletop items totally captivated me last year with their vibrant colors and definitive lines, just blew me away at ICFF with this chandelier.
A collection of hand-blown glass orbs housed in a simply framed glass box enclosure, I'm convinced it's called the Infinity because you just want to look at it forever. One of the most commanding fixtures i've ever seen, the surprisingly low 6-watt candelabra bulbs just sparkle through the irregularly shaped orbs, magnifying the luminance as they seemingly dance off each other in a festive celebration of light.
Now here's the not-so-great circumstance... if you desperately covet this chandelier and are thinking, "I wouldn't change a thing," you had better be doing your thinking in a pretty large space. The Infinity, available in two sizes, 54" x 30" and 48" x 20" x 20", with considerable length in the drop as well, is undoubtedly aimed at the hospitality market.
According to his studio, John will create a custom version for an upcharge, and he does have a vertically-oriented version that measures 12" x 12" x 24". But wouldn't it be nice to see this design scaled down to something that can be comfortably accommodated over your dining room table?
Are you listening, John?
