Vortex LED tube chandelier

Project Overview

A spiral field of warm LED tubes, suspended from a circular opening above.

The vortex chandelier hangs from a circular opening in the ceiling — first in a double-height hotel atrium, then in a museum rotunda. Hundreds of warm LED tubes are suspended on fine cables in a loose spiral, so the installation reads as a slow current of light rather than a solid form.

The same system was scaled between the two spaces: the hotel version fills a wider atrium opening, while the museum version is pulled tighter and lower to sit with the gallery below. Cable spacing and tube length are set per ceiling height.
