Cascades, written into the architecture.
For two decades Radilum has been making lighting that earns its place in homes — but a quieter part of our work happens elsewhere. In hotel atriums fifteen metres tall. In ballrooms the size of small theatres. On staircases that wind for three storeys. Five of those projects, documented here, in their own words.
§ 00 · The Atelier Method
A private fixture, scaled to a public room.
Most of these projects begin in the same way: a designer or owner shows us a small fixture they love — a candle-arm chandelier, a beaded pendant, a single alabaster sphere — and asks whether we can build it ten, twenty, fifty times the size, into a ceiling that needs to carry a room. We almost always can. The atelier holds the design language and the original geometry; we redraw the engineering, recalculate the lighting plan, and rebuild it at the new scale.
What follows are five recent commissions, each photographed as installed and documented with the source fixture they were derived from — so you can see, side by side, how a private piece becomes a public commission.

The Grand Ballroom Chandelier.
London · UK The Westminster Royal Palace · Source Cebu Chandelier

As Installed

Detail · Cascade

Detail · Candle Arm
The Build Thousands of hand-cut K9 / Swarovski-equivalent crystals on a bronze-plated brass frame. Tier count and arm diameter individually tuned to the ballroom’s ceiling height — never standard.

04
The Grand Staircase Cascade.
Paris · France The Heritage Manor Hotel · Source Marni Beaded Chandelier
View Source Fixture
As Installed

Detail · Strings

Detail · Ceiling Plate
The Build Spherical light strings of varying calibrated lengths, radiating from a circular gold ceiling plate into a concave V-cluster. Reads as paused motion — splashing water, bursting fireworks.

05
The Golden Butterfly Migration.
Vancouver · Canada Aurora Sky Tower Residences · Source Tidal Art Glass Chandelier
View Source Fixture
As Installed

Detail · Spiral

Detail · Element
The Build A spiral of fluttering elements descending through a double-height lobby. Reads as butterflies in flight or leaves in autumn descent — depending where you stand on the staircase.
