The Apollo Chandelier and the Apollo Wall Sconce are a continuation of the Apollo Lamp Collection but mark a completely new typology for HAY’s lighting assortment. They use simplified design language to create sculptural and functional interpretations of traditional lamp archetypes.
The unexpected contrast of the mouth-blown opal glass and industrial anodised aluminium arms shatters people’s preconceptions of the nostalgic extravagance usually associated with the classic chandelier and sconce typologies and makes them stand out as very modern objects. Their elegant yet powerful visual expression makes them ideal for creating atmosphere in a variety of private and public places.
"What’s remarkable about the Apollo Chandelier is that it stands out as a very modern object; it’s an absolutely original take. It alters people’s expectations and makes them see it in a new way.” Rolf Hay, Co-Founder and Creative Director of HAY
"The chandelier sets the scene – it’s both sculptural and functional. With its references back in time the lamp feels familiar. It’s an object that will hopefully witness several generations." Nikolaj Mentze from Studio 0405
