Daniel Libeskind’s eL Masterpiece is roughly nine feet tall and two-and-a-half feet wide. It weighs 350 pounds. A luminous, sharp-edged, cascading shape, the chandelier has a highlypolished stainless steel exterior and a stainless-and-23-caratgold- plated-leaf interior. Created in collaboration with Austrian lighting company Zumtobel, the limited-edition eL Masterpiece chandelier is distinguished by both its striking design and the sophisticated technology that underlies it. The light emitted by eL mimics and reproduces the cosmic light that fills the Universe. To achieve this, Dr. Noam I Libeskind, Daniel Libeskind's son and an astrophysicist at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam, used eL’s LEDs to represent the Big Bang and the Universe's expansion. The dynamic lighting illustrates the evolution of mass and structure in the Universe: each LED represents a small volume of outer space. Completed: 2011 Client: Zumbtobel Lighting GmbH Height: 8.86 Feet Width: 34 inches / 29 inches
