I came across this rendering of the LQ Chandelier while working on the new version of my website. This was the final model before we began fabricating components, but I don't think we ever built any in this configuration.

Our design for the LQ Chandelier is the latest addition to Zumtobel’s Avant Garde Collection. The form is made from a single minimal surface component that can expand infinitely via seamless edge to edge connections.

This is a chandelier that we are designing at Asymptote for lighting manufacturer Zumtobel. The idea is to produce a a single minimal surface component that can expand infinitely via seamless edge to edge connections. The form is generated by a scripting process I’m developing that evolves the topology of a primitive towards particular goals, in this instance heightened refraction and a lack of undercut surfaces.
