At Morgan Creek Estate in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, the architecture defined the lighting solution. The dramatic cathedral ceiling called for a fixture that could occupy the exceptional vertical space while remaining light, refined and visually connected to the warm coastal interior.
Working with Herlong Architects + Interiors, we created a custom Sunbeam chandelier composed of 42 handcrafted glass pendants in our White 124 glass. The pendants descend at varying heights through a 16.5-foot drop, creating a sculptural composition above the grand piano and main living space.
A custom bronze ceiling mount was designed specifically for the cathedral ceiling, allowing the installation to become an integral part of the architecture rather than an element simply suspended within it. The translucent white glass introduces movement and soft illumination while allowing the surrounding wood, windows and natural light to remain dominant.
The result is a bespoke architectural lighting installation designed entirely around the proportions, materials and geometry of the home.
