The Rose Garden Arena
Portland's largest indoor venue is home to the Trail Blazers and plays host to most of the large national performance acts that come through Portland. We were delighted when we were asked to design and build a large luminaire to grace its spacious entry hall.
Calliope Chandelier
H: 42" Ø: 33"
100% recycled cast aluminum and steel with art glass panels, slumped seeded glass and a frosted borosilicate glass lens within. We used art glass in shades of red and orange and purple to warm up the 70w metal halide lamp.
We love this luminaire! It reminds us of the brilliant film City of Lost Children in which every object feels both organic and mechanical at the same time (not to mention surreal). It makes us think of a flower bud about to bloom...or an alien starseed blowing across the galaxy in search of a fertile ground. This large and beautiful chandelier incorporates sheets of art glass “clipped” around a metal globe.
