1.Project Overview
Located in the fashion district of Paris, this high-end bridal boutique (“Maison de L’Amour”) required a centerpiece that embodies romance and femininity. The client moved away from traditional clear crystal, seeking a unique fixture that would serve as the store’s visual identity. Tikanna Lighting was commissioned to create a massive, multi-tiered pink glass chandelier to hang above the main fitting area.
2.The Challenge
The client faced a delicate balance between aesthetics and functionality:
Color Precision: The “Pink” had to be sophisticated, not gaudy. It needed to be a soft “Rose Quartz” tone that complements the skin of the brides without casting a heavy red tint on the pure white wedding gowns.
Scale & Volume: The salon features intricate molding and high ceilings. A small fixture would get lost. The chandelier needed significant volume and vertical height to anchor the space and match the grandeur of the interior architecture.
3.The Tikanna Solution
We designed a custom “Floral Cascade” chandelier that blends Murano aesthetics with modern functionality:
Custom “Blush” Glass: We utilized a specialized glass coloring process to achieve a translucent, soft pink gradient. The arms and central column are made of hand-blown glass, offering a fluid, organic feel.
High CRI Illumination: To solve the color rendering issue, we installed High CRI (95+) LED bulbs. This ensures that while the fixture looks pink, the light projected onto the dresses remains true and natural, showcasing the fabric’s details perfectly.
Grand Scale Design: The fixture spans 1.8 meters in width and 2.5 meters in height, featuring three main tiers of curved glass arms. This verticality perfectly fills the void of the high ceiling, drawing the eye upward.
4.The Result
The chandelier has become the iconic “Instagram Spot” of the shop. Brides report feeling like princesses under its warm glow. The store owner praised Tikanna for the precise color matching, stating: “It is not just a light; it is the beating heart of our salon.”
