It's by a Paris based French company.

Damascus, Syria has glass factories that make light fixtures like these.

I agree with K. Something that looks very similar was in the April Domino (pg 162), and is attributed to Michele Varian.

It's somewhat off-topic, but I think that you could easily create a DIY version with these for half the price!

That's adorable. I wonder how it looks lit up.

It looks like one of those monstrous Dale Chihuly ode to breasts sculptures.

You could create something kind of similar in an eco-cool way by using old water bottles.

I'm wondering if they actually made it because early in their slideshow theres another pic of a light fixture made of bottles of red liquid (at least I think its a light).

It's made by a French company named Tade ( http://www.tade.fr ) and imported to the US by French Look ( http://www.frenchlook.com )
