gold colour halo chandelier

Visually attractive and technically well-designed interiors make our environment more valuable. In addition to aesthetics, functionality and innovativeness are key factors in interior design. Creators and leading specialists of U & U Design Studio, Roman Ishchuk,architect with 20 years of experience and Julia Ischuk is a designer who knows how to surprise even the most demanding client U&U Design projects combine engineering and artistic approaches.

In the living room of a luxury appartment, an attractive MANOOI crystal chandelier cluster have been installed in unique, golden colour. HALO was designed with the intention of maintaining an apparent airiness by using a minimum of matter without ever compromising on the quality or the effect rendered. This unique piece reminds us of the excellent capacity and phenomena that light can create. Every crystal is carefully assembled into small branches, emerging like light beams that would be covered with frost and diffract the light into thousands of sparkles. HALO can be installed either vertically or horizontally depending on your imaginations. This horizontally installed, golden HALO fits perfectly the elegant interior design of the appartment.

Whether arranged in horizontal or angled position, HALO will be a real eye-catcher when different diameters are combined. And thanks to its light and minimal design you can be sure of always being elegant but never overpowering the interior design.

MANOOI light creations are only made with premium-quality crystals: full-cut octagon pieces specially carved to recall the look of diamonds. This special crystal cut helps to absorb natural light and to create the incomparable sparkling effect that only a crystal can provide. Its optical traits can break down visible light into spectra, resulting in colour combinations like those of a rainbow.

We use various sized crystal pieces / octagons to give a streamlined shape and an airy effect to our light creations. Most of our chandeliers are available in coloured versions, too. These crystals are coloured within their own material to ensure the durability of the colours for eternity.

Alongside transparent versions, and our nine standard colour combinations, we are ready and able to create custom colour combinations as an element of your bespoke chandelier. During the years MANOOI crystal chandeliers were born in many different colours upon our customers imaginations. Between many thousands of colour combinations, we selected the nine most popular colour combinations to make the choice easier.

When your space requires a custom lighting design, we provide flexible service to fulfil your wishes and enhance customised interiors.

Every one of our tailor-made      chandeliers is the fruit of a common planning process by our team of developers to provide an exclusive and personal illumination to your interior.

Common Space | 2nd National Salon of Applied Arts and Design 2022

 

208 artists came together during the first Salon of Applied Arts and Design in 2017 in the Műcsarnok (the Budapest Hall of Art) in 2017, showcasing the latest developments in the Hungarian art scene. Now, at the second Salon exhibition, with more than 300 members in attendance, 10 branches of art will share a ‘common space’. Ranging from post-industrial design to the most recent works of autonomous studio art, from objects of everyday use to fine art experiments. Artists from four generations have contributed their works, from doyens to exciting up-and-coming designers. The exhibition is in the curator András B. Szilágyi’s theme, the “International Year of Glass 2022”.

MANOOI is proud to present a very special crystal light creation in the Műcsarnok at the 2nd National Salon of Applied Arts and Design 2022. The concept was to show the “Form of Time”. Seen from below, our INFINITY model forms the number eight, or a Lemniscate when viewed from its side. The infinity symbol signifies the concept of limitlessness or eternity, especially when used in mathematics and or when talking about the feelings of true love.

This contemporary chandelier symbolizes empowerment and everlasting beauty, with its dynamic form and through the power of never-ending loops. Allow the shape of this exclusive lighting solution to bring an artistic touch to your interior design project and set its playful and spirited design to bring a lasting effect to any setting.

The exhibition invokes Aristotle’s 10 categories to invite guests on a contemplative tour through the different objects at the exhibition and invites them to freely take in their surroundings. It shows two diverging paths along which the displays, which were realized in the past five years, can be enjoyed:

Common Space exhibition

One leads guests from design-focused forms and materials to the realms of the shapeless and the abstract, while the other route  invites guests on a journey from strict functionalism to autonomous art. Along these paths, visitors can walk from ceramics, the most ancient art, reminiscent of the birth of human civilization, all the way to the realm of virtual reality to give visitors a glimpse of the future. Although the displayed areas of art are distinct, being spatially linked at the exhibition, they present a continuous process. The mixing of different branches of creativity coupled with the two conceptual journeys creates inspiring crossroads, with new qualities and connections emerging at the meeting points.

MANOOI is  proud to be part of a stunning restylishing design project with one of its most popular crystal chandeliers. DEEP SKY is an attempt to grasp the infinity of space, composed of crystals augmented by their own reflections. This endless mass of twinkling stars is only visible from below, within the solid mirror box structure concealing a sparkling multitude.

This restylishing, modern interior design by Martinuzzi Interiors in magnificent property located on the hill of Erlenbach, overlooking Lake Zurich. The brief of the client entailed the restyling of the property to add substantially to its market value. To that end, the villa needed to be brought up-to-date and revived. Martinuzzi Interiors prefered to draw attention to the fact that “Restyling” is in high demand on the real estate market, because it combines a modernisation with a renovation concept & planning using the technologies of renders and video renders.

The main challenges were to find the perfect color palette that would contrast and at the same time harmonize the built-in furniture with the flooring, all realized in the same American walnut wood. The combination of warm and cold grey colors with the brown/orange existing elements highlights the re-modernization adding a refined taste. The concept intelligently embraced also the existing Asian design elements and colors giving the villa an original and sophisticated new look.

For the dining area of the villa, they continued the harmony with the different shapes of grey color. The texture was enriched by a luxury Anguilla leather wallpaper in different areas of the Villa. The lighter warmer grey was used for the entire interiors walls of the villa. The final result is a feeling of living with style and Harmony. The future furnishing of those areas will be completed by the wish of the client. This is the area where the interior design and the athmospeher was completed with a stunnng black covered, DEEP SKY crystal chandelier.

But what is crystal? What does it mean and where is it used?

Overall, the word crystal describes a material whose components are arranged in a regular structure, but it can also be one piece of that material: meaning “a” crystal or “piece of crystal”.

Crystal is also a mineral that has a regular shape, like when salt crystallizes from evaporated seawater. Or, it can also be a clear, transparent rock used in a piece of jewelry.

Crystal in the Manooi Universe

Or a crystal can be a piece of high quality, cut glass whose patterns reflect light, like the single pieces of crystal Manooi uses in its chandelier creations. Such crystal pieces – the ones that shine and dazzle our eyes – are truly the stars of our universe.

Sometimes called “pendalogues”, these chandelier crystals, which are cut and polished into various shapes and sizes, reflect and amplify the light from our contemporary crystal chandelier models, which can accommodate both classic and modern interiors. When it comes to crystal, we couldn’t do what we do without them!

How long has crystal been used in chandeliers?

The use of crystal in chandeliers was part of the evolution of ceiling lamps, the first one being the candelabra, which hung from the ceiling holding candles as a light source.

The chandelier, an upgrade of sorts of the candelabra, came about in the medieval period. Over time, chandeliers became increasingly sophisticated and were fashioned from precious materials (like gold), making them status symbols in a home or estate. Eventually, Murano glass from Venice was used on chandeliers to reflect their candle light.

Then, lead glass was invented. In the 17th century English glassmaker George Ravenscroft came up with it. Now commonly called crystal or lead crystal, this special glass reflected light more decoratively than regular glass and was also easier to work with than Venetian glass.

Owing to a deep tradition of glass making that began at the end of the 13th century, manufacturers in Bohemia (in today’s Czech Republic) became renowned for their crystal glass production, which featured unique colours and cuts.

 

The “golden age” of crystal

Starting in the 19th century, within a remarkably short period of time Bohemian crystal earned world renown for its design and quality – one Bohemian glass maker even won the highest award at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.

However, in the meantime, in 1895, Daniel Swarovski, who had emigrated from Bohemia to Austria, invented a machine which cut and polished crystal, a development that revolutionized how it was made. Today, of course, his company is world famous in the worlds of design and fashion, and is Manooi’s biggest supplier of crystal pieces.

 

Lead crystal versus “regular” glass

While everyday glass comes from sand (containing mostly silicon dioxide) heated to 1700 degrees Celsius thus turning into a liquid that can be fashioned into objects, to make crystal glass minerals are added to the glass-making process to strengthen it. The mineral content of crystal glass runs anywhere from 2-30%, with or without lead.

If you’re wondering how to differentiate between real crystal and ordinary glass, just tap on it: a glass made of crystal will ring, while ordinary glass doesn’t. Also, objects made of crystal are much more brilliant and dazzling to the eye than common glass. And crystal is stronger and thinner than glass, so it’s used     , for example, to make delicate wine glasses.

Health and environmental concerns      from the production of lead crystal glass      drove      crystal makers to invent a way to manufacture lead-free crystal. Today this is done by replacing the lead oxide used in the traditional process with      other compounds that do not entail possible health risks.

With the help of today’s most advanced technology, for the production of crystal chandeliers Swarovski has succeeded in creating a sustainable, lead-free crystal glass material that shows off the same lustre as the original lead version, ADVANCED CRYSTAL, a development which the company considers proprietary knowledge. In connection with this, Manooi crystal chandeliers are made with the highest quality crystal materials, and the pinnacle of such crystal making is a custom-made crystal from Swarovski, the Artica crystal, a piece of which serves as a trademark and token of authenticity on every Manooi creation.

Manooi headquarter

MANOOI’s showroom hosted a gathering of industry partners whose aim was to introduce the company’s profile and chandeliers to the design profession in Hungary. MANOOI’s long-term partner Ambi Light invited leading designers and interior architects from Hungary to embark on an exciting design journey. Guests gained insight into the company’s history, from its inception to the present day. They got the chance to meet one of the founders of MANOOI, designer Judit Zoltai, who provided an abundance of inspiration. They were also introduced to the birth of MANOOI’s luxury crystal chandeliers and got acquainted with the various components, technical details and characteristics of the crystals it employs in its creations. The designers in attendance had their eyes opened to the versatile use of crystal chandeliers through inspiring and prestigious design projects, a true introduction to the MANOOI universe.

Manooi Polaris crystal chancdelier cluster

Luxury apartment on the East Coast in Florida features a stunning sea view

This stylish apartment has a real personal touch since it was designed by the owner herself and Lights of Venice. In the large sitting room there is plenty of space to fill with designer furniture and accessories. The challenge was to fill up the large space proportionately with light, to highlight its stunning sea view. The designer was looking for a specific crystal chandelier to occupy the space in the sitting room area.

The POLARIS crystal chandelier has several different sizes to choose from, so the designer went ahead and arranged that the area accommodate three different sizes and then hung them at different heights. Every piece of the interior design is well-planned, personal and creates harmony while using light pastel colours. The large windows provide a stunning sea view and lots of natural light.

Manooi crystal chandeliers are only made with premium-quality crystals: full-cut octagon pieces specially carved to recall the look of diamonds. This special cut helps to absorb natural light and to create the incomparable sparkling effect that only a crystal can provide. Its optical traits can break down visible light into spectra, resulting in colour combinations like those of a rainbow. We use various-sized crystals to give a streamlined and an airy effect to our lighting creations. As a final touch, we decorate the chandeliers with various shapes and styles of crystal pendants so the chandeliers provide a stunning sparkling effect from every angle.

POLARIS is perfect for installing in a composition, having an exclusive, inimitable shape. The intricate shape of this chandelier will underline the complex lines in contemporary interiors. With both mineral and stellar associations, this chandelier captivates and represents a new departure in the manufacturing possibilities of the brand. The POLARIS crystal chandelier is available in three standard shapes and can be further enhanced by combinations of the coloured crystals of your choice.

Manooi Iceberg crystal chandelier

Out of the many aspects making Arndt Geiger Herrmann Architects’ oeuvre so exciting and extraordinary, it is mainly two that perfectly characterise the firm’s architectural stance: firstly, the references, in terms of both form and content, to 21st century Swiss modernism, which the architects have steadfastly devoted themselves to, irrespective of all postmodern trends, whose idiosyncrasies continue to have repercussions to this day; and secondly, the reflection upon the location, the acknowledgement of and involvement with different truths and their diversity, without which their architectural concepts would be unthinkable. Only a few steps away from Lake Lucerne in this idyllic scenery, an amazing single family house with a unique panoramic view was built on an empty plot of land. In the steep terrain of “Nagelfluh”, elaborate foundation work had to be carried out in order to be able to realise the planned three-story house. The infinity pool was deliberately designed so that one can fully enjoy the fabulous view from there.

Manooi is proud to be present in that realm with one of its Iceberg crystal chandeliers in  one of their stunning, “single family house with panoramic view” projects. Our Iceberg chandelier resembles a glistening hemisphere, andechnically speaking, it is one of the most intricate and advanced chandeliers. Manufactured in the Manooi atelier, Iceberg comes in 32 different sizes and shapes to accommodate every architectural space. Thanks to its flexibility, it looks gorgeous in a cluster or on its own, too.

The materials of the cubic villa were carefully selected in close dialogue with the client. The ventilated facade consisting of gray clinker brick was glued and then grouted. The interior is also dominated by stone. The only exception is a compact core of smoked eucalyptus wood, which runs vertically through the three floors of the property and is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also cleverly hides undesirables thanks to elaborate planning.
