Formations In Nature Inspires Sculptural Clusters of Light

Since its debut in 2017, the Welles Chandelier by contemporary furniture and lighting brand Gabriel Scott has become a symbol of luxury and elegant design. The innovative chandelier came from a need to create a modular lighting system that could be expanded without visible rods. Seven years later, Gabriel Scott introduces a fresh evolution of the chandelier: the Welles Reimagined series. Designed in collaboration with renowned American architect David Rockwell, this new collection retains the geometric essence of the original while offering a contemporary twist inspired by natural clusters in crystals, clouds, and chemical compounds.

Where the Welles Chandelier featured steel elements to encase the bulbs, the Welles Reimagined collection embraces a jewelry-like brilliance with hollowed glass polygons. These luminous shapes, assembled at varying heights and in diverse dimensions, are available in five stunning finishes: Smoked, Purple, Alabaster White, Bronze, and Clear. This transformation represents a beautiful progression of the Welles design, emphasizing customization and adaptability. “Inspired by the elegance of jewelry, the Welles Chandelier epitomizes our design philosophy – to create modular products customizable to exact specifications,” says Scott Richler, Founder and CEO of Gabriel Scott. “The Welles Reimagined by David Rockwell capsule collection stands as a sculptural masterpiece, and we are thrilled to augment its allure with additional glass finish options in our standard series. Our clients value choice and personalization, and this expansion epitomizes our commitment to meeting their diverse needs.”

The expanded collection includes chandeliers, pendants, and sconces, offering endless possibilities for mixing and matching finishes to suit individual styles. These customizable options allow the Welles Reimagined series to effortlessly elevate spaces, whether illuminated or not. “Our partnership enabled the creation of something truly exceptional, blending Gabriel Scott’s modular lighting approach and impeccable craftsmanship with our emphasis on narrative and materiality,” adds Rockwell. “Through experimentation with volume, color, texture, and scale, we crafted organic compositions of light that profoundly influence ambiance and spatial perception.”
