apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ugh! In the second picture it looks like a drunken pink octopus. What a beautiful view though.

It looks like, when it's ready, it will pounce the guests and devour them all.

Dear god have I gotten acrophobic. I'm more frightened of the height of the patio than the drunken pink octopus about to pounce.

It would be hot if it were in a Tim Burton movie

I voted hot, but really, I think that I merely like it more than I don't. I'm not sure that would have justified "hot".

But yes, I do like it.

Well it might not be so weird if it wasn't so massive! It's gigantic!! I agree, it would go great in a tim burton movie, or maybe someone with a more dark decorative taste but for the average pottery barn home it would look pretty silly. Neat idea... but maybe not very practical.

I love it! It's eccentric and elegant, and harsh and delicate at the same time. I get the sea creature vibe too, but I think that's a good thing.

tim burton / alice in wonderland awesome!

That first photo is so photoshopped...

It looks like a REALLY bad factory second.

For being someone who likes things in their pure state whenever possible, i find this chandelier absolutely amazing....which is a contradiction. I think the scale, the colors, the whole concept of lavish, autoindulgent unpracticality gives it a whole new sense of being in itself. It's definetely not for the faint-at-feng-shui-heart, and certainly not for the weak-pocketed, but i think it is a beautiful piece of fantasy some of us can only wish for.

Not sure about the second picture (pink octopus seems quite accurate), but in the first picture I was awe-struck. Especially when contrasted with the clean urban balcony setting... amazing. Not a piece to be used by the typical suburban decorator, but man, what a piece!

it's very alice in wonderland. with different light shades i'd absolutely put it in my house.

Simply Fabulous

In my own house, it would give me nightmares. But I would love to see it in a friend's!

I like it, but I think it would only work in certain kinds/styles of rooms. Hot, but with limited applications.

It's amusing, but I am easily amused.
It's "hot" because it looks freshly baked.
It's "not" because it looks freashly baked.

Freashly is a new word. Look it up.

NOPE!

I wouldn't put it in my own, but it would be a good conversational piece in someone else's :)

I think it's really cool.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!!!

I think these are unreal amounts of awesome.

Nothing says tasteful like the remains of a recent fire.

It's not my style, but I like the very Dr. Seuss feel to it

they need different bulb shades. the shades are too pristine and uniform to work with the wonkiness of the chandeliers.

It's a hot mess.

perfect for some sort of upscale goth club, but not for moi.

I think it's fantastic.

There's no way I'd want one for myself or anything, but it's pretty cool to look at.

these are a little over the top but murano chandeliers are just so freakin gorgeous.

Ick.

I think it's the kind of piece that might make a cool statement in a fantasy setting, like a theme (upper end) restaurant, but not in a normal person's home!

NOT
i'd be constantly looking up to see if the enormous black tarantula was going to pounce

Would look cool in a lounge or some type of dark, twisted environment, but not in my personal space- They just would not go.
I like them though.

I just tied up the vote! I had to vote "Not" after seeing the purple one... but I think that the black one would look really neat in a large space. It's definitely for the more twisted side of us :)

I just have to say I´m over chandeliers.

I love love love old chandeliers, with that aged look. And that's it.

I was into the colored glass ones for a few days, but at this point - I am truly over the exotic variations.

That said - yeah, these do look pretty cool! Just too much for me though, when I voted the votes were 67 HOT, and 68 NOT - I broke the tie! At least for a moment;)

Spooky....I actually like them, tho, but I would imagine having to constantly "explain" them, which would be really annoying.

I hope Marcel Wanders saw this and flipped! =)

Love it, the top one would work a treat in my dining room1

Barf.
