Nephele is a sculptural chandelier that evokes organic forms of floating sea creatures and extraordinary cloud formations. In Greek mythology Nephele (Greek: Νεφέλη, from νέφος nephos “cloud”) was a cloud nymph created by Zeus in the image of the goddess Hera. The chandelier is composed of curved aluminum tubes with illuminated tips that arc upwards toward the sky.
