Sans Souci, a Czech designer and maker of glass lighting and architectural installations, debuts its latest lighting work at Dubai's new Burj Al Arab lobby in 2021. The beautiful chandelier, which is made up of 210 crystal tubes and weighs roughly 450 kilos, was developed from Sans Souci's distinctive Symphony line.
The piece elegantly blends traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge nanotechnologies. Each glass tube was coated in gold and etched with a unique leaf design borrowed from the luxury hotel's wallpaper using cutting-edge methods.
The beautiful spiral chandelier is the custom showpiece for the newly rebuilt Exit Lobby, which was designed by KCA International for Jumeirah Group. The installation's design makes use of light to create a luminous work of art in the new space's centre.
