Every part of the chandelier is hand-crafted, and the brass branches are connected to glass shades with a ball and socket joint so that each can be angled to suit. Pierre-Yves Morel creates the handmade wooden beads in Belgium before hand painting them in gilt, sea green, teal blue and silvery tones, drawing inspiration from Italian marbles. The Elowen is available in a number of colour ways. Each bead is totally unique and pairs the marmoreal look of stone with the lightness and versatile texture of wood.

After studying painting at the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts in France, he trained in decorative painting at the Van der Kelen-Logelain Higher Institute of Painting in Brussels. Parallel with his work in private residences he creates objects with a contemporary look by using – or even diverting – traditional technologies.
