Shades of blue, hand-applied to concentric metal circles, make the Graduation Chandelier a distinctive show-stopper at over four feet tall. Bento boxes were the inspiration for the circles and the variegated blues were first found on vintage textiles dyed with indigo and made to look like the night sky. The small gold-leafed accents and the warmth of the interior finish add depth and richness to the design.
