This buy was inspired by Dooce who, a couple of years ago now, fell in love with this lamp - an electric chandelier with cascading tiers of individual capiz discs. Capiz are a kind of mother-of-pearl shell, which is very light and almost transparent. The discs make a soft tinkling sound when they knock against each other.
I was delighted to find something very similar from Laura Ashley. We installed ours on the top floor over the stairwell near the skylight. I decided not to wire the lamp in as there is enough light on the stairwell already and it makes a beautiful visual and sound effect just like that.
All through the day, if the skylight is open, it's possible to hear the chandelier tinkling softly (or if you puff on it as you walk by). And its translucent whiteness blends in with the white walls and ceiling.
