Summary
British designer Bethan Laura Wood has created a modular, contemporary version of Baccarat's classic 175-year-old crystal-glass chandelier. Called Mille Fleurs, the chandelier was the centerpiece of Crystal Crypt, Baccarat's Milan Design Week exhibition. The design reimagines the traditional chandelier as a modular "vortex" of jeweled flowers, blending historical craftsmanship with modern, customizable design.
