Designed by Seattle-based glass blower, Jean-Pierre Canlis, the Raindrop Chandelier is a beautiful piece made from organic blown glass. Hanging from a 36″ round metal base are 8-pieces of the glass, each perfectly designed to resemble large raindrops. The raindrops are illuminated from the exterior to give off a dramatic look.

The gorgeous Raindrop Chandelier adds brightness to even the sunniest of days. Where would you put this piece?

Jean-Pierre (J.P.) Canlis , known for his serene interpretations of nature in glass, has just crossed a new boundary. His Wheat Installation translates the mundane into elegance through a unique display of glass. Each stalk of wheat is hand made by the glass artist who resides in Seattle, Washington and runs his studio and gallery space in downtown Seattle. The Wheat can be scaled down to run down the center of a dining room table or fill a niche as tall as seven feet in height! The Raindrop Chandelier is a modern, fresh feel to the traditional “chandelier.” Inspired by the endless winters of the Pacific Northwest, the Raindrop Chandelier has the possibilities for large-scale installations in public spaces to private home centerpieces.
