Presented as a prototype during the 1949 Alexander Girard–curated Exhibition for Modern Living in Detroit, the Galaxy chandelier by Charles and Ray Eames was never put into production — until now.
Collaborating with the Eames Office and using archival sketches and documents, Cassina swapped the original wooden sphere and brass tubes with PMMA and aluminum poles; the 36 LED-equipped rods in differing lengths project from the centre to illuminate a space with a celestial beauty.
