The Design
About Goldrify Lysekrone
Goldrify er en personlig tilpasset lysekrone som reflekterer asiatiske trosforestillinger og kultur med et ugjentakende, omstillbart mønster generert av de gitte lykketallene til hver personlige preferanse. Ved å bruke håndlaget glass designet i gullbladform, skapes en symmetrisk, men likevel dynamisk og naturlig visuell forbindelse, der den enkle glassformen gjør det mulig å enkelt og fleksibelt arrangere mønstre på enhver form, ved å bruke en teknikk med gullbladføring på overflaten, en implikasjon av velstand og helse som er inspirert av gullforgylling i thailandsk kultur.

- Production Technology
- From a physical point of view, the glass is made by handcrafting and blowing techniques, which are guided by a 3D model, Intended to create a natural and reduced industrial environment.
For a digital world, we create a python script to create a parametric arrangement according to the difference in sizing and shape. While generating an infinite never-repeating pattern according to the given number. - Design Challenge
- The challenge is how to turn subjective such as belief into the physical form of a chandelier. Since belief is a personal perspective, it is challenging to create a physical form of a chandelier with a similar understanding and perception from a different cultural point of view.
- Research
- Since chandeliers started in Europe, they have been full of imported designs in Asia. But lacking chandeliers in Asian perception that fit Asian context, architecture, and culture. From our experience in this market, we got an opportunity to interview customers, which led us to understand that from a Buddhist country's point of view, a significant object such as a chandelier is an item that needs to fulfill not only appearance. But the story and beliefs behind it are also keys to complete their satisfaction.
- Inspiration
- Goldrify chandelier is inspired by Thai culture all Buddhists glide a gold leaf on the Buddha statue to complete the true body appearance believing it supplements their splendor, dignity, and luck as a gift from Buddha assistance. Under this inspiration, emotional and cultural value has been driven over function and luxury. Shape itself reflects the technique of Goldgliding in Thai culture which tries to connect with the beliefs of supplementing the owner's luck.
- Project Duration
- Started in March 2022 in Thailand
- Operation Flow
- Goldrify is composed of a goldleaf-shaped glass module, which is lightweight, allowing installation without any support above the ceiling. Since Goldrify is freely installed, the possibility of a suitable shape to be recreated with any space is widely open while the pattern is also freely arranged in the area, leading to the unrepeatable gold gliding-like patterns arraying on an invisible surface. Together with the simple shape of glass rotation and direction can visually connect in any axis which keeps the overall surface look connected.
