My physics professor explained the concept of "the Ether" as an antiquated term for the substance around us through which sound and light waves are propelled. Whether designer
Patrick Jouin was referring to this pre-quantum physics term (aether), to the organic chemistry compound (as an ether like the Polyethylene Glycol in my makeup) or to something entirely different, we'll never know. What we
do know is that we love this lamp.
The Ether Hanging Lamp is a beautiful take on the modern chandelier made of blown murano glass orbs suspended from a polished steel frame. It comes in your choice of two sizes and two lighting options: either four white spotlights or a colored LED.
We love innovative glass designs and this one was both beautiful and whimsical- almost like a dignified jellyfish. Hang it above your dining table or in your reading room for a soft, faceted glow that's sure to earn you some compliments.
From the mirrored underside of the shade to the tiny thumbprints in each glass bubble, every detail has been carefully considered and well-executed in this functional work of art. Just make sure you don't hang it within reach of the kiddies!
