Odile Spiral-Cut Glass Tiered Chandelier
The craftsmanshipThe Art Glass DifferenceWhy hand-cast art glass beats molded glass & resin, the many shapes our artisans create, and how to spot the real thing. ▦ Material comparison ✦ One craft, many shapes 🔍 Spot genuine glass Open 01 · Material Comparison Hand-cast art glass vs. molded glass vs. resin Three materials look similar in a thumbnail — but live very differently on your wall. Here's how our hand-cast art glass compares. Our Hand-Cast Art Glass Molded / Pressed Glass Resin / Acrylic Imitation How it's made Hand-cast & shaped by artisans, one piece at a time Machine-pressed in a fixed mold, mass-produced Liquid resin poured into a mold, mass-produced Texture & pattern Unique crackle texture — no two tubes alike Identical, repeating pattern on every unit Flat, "printed-on" look; texture feels superficial Light quality Deep, layered glow; light refracts through real glass Even but flat; little depth or movement Dull, slightly cloudy; can look plasticky when lit Feel & weight Substantial, cool, solid in the hand Solid but uniform Noticeably light, warm, hollow-feeling Color over time Color is in the glass — won't fade or yellow Stable color Can yellow or cloud with heat & UV over time Heat tolerance High — glass handles bulb heat well High Lower — can warp or discolor near heat Character A one-of-a-kind work of glass art A functional, uniform fixture A budget look-alike The takeaway: hand-cast art glass costs more to make, but it's the only one that gives you genuine depth of light, individual character, and lasting color — the qualities that make a fixture feel like art rather than hardware. 02 · Forms & Shapes One craft, many shapes Every piece begins the same way — molten glass, hand-cast and shaped by our artisans. From that single craft comes a whole family of forms, each catching and releasing light in its own way.

Here's how to tell the difference once it's in your home — every point below describes our fixtures. 1 Pick it up Real glass is cool and substantial. Resin feels warm, light, and hollow. Our tubes have real weight — many customers say the heavy box was their first clue it's genuine. 2 Look at the texture Hand-cast crackle texture has true depth you can feel with a fingertip. Resin texture looks like it's printed on a flat surface. 3 Turn on the light Glass refracts light into a layered, moving glow. Resin tends to look flat, dull, or slightly cloudy when lit. 4 Compare two pieces No two hand-cast tubes are exactly identical. If every piece looks machine-perfect and matched, it's molded — not artisan glass. Our promise: every fixture is genuine hand-cast art glass. Slight variation between pieces isn't a flaw — it's proof it was made by hand. A smooth glass rod gives you one highlight. A twisted one gives you dozens. The Odile Spiral-Cut Glass Tiered Chandelier is built from clear glass rods worked into a deep spiral twist — each one ridged along its whole length like a rope turned in glass — hung from a gold frame in three stepped rings that narrow toward the bottom. Suspended on a slim chain from a domed canopy. The twist is the entire point. A smooth glass rod passes light straight through and looks like what it is; a spiralled one has dozens of ridges and hollows down its length, and every single one catches the light at a different angle. So instead of a flat glow, the fixture reads as hundreds of small bright points moving as you move — closer to cut crystal than to plain glass, with none of the hard-edged glare. Lit or unlit, the rods hold light in their grooves. 1 Every Ridge Catches Light On Its OwnThe twist is the whole design. A smooth rod passes light straight through; a spiralled one has dozens of ridges and hollows down its length, each catching light at a different angle. So the fixture reads as hundreds of small bright points rather than one flat glow. 2 Sparkle Without the GlareFaceted crystal throws light back at you in hard points. A rounded spiral scatters it in every direction instead — so you get the brightness of cut glass without the harshness, and it stays comfortable to sit under. 3 Three Rings, Each Stepped InwardEvery tier sits narrower and lower than the one above, so the rods overlap in layers rather than hanging as a single curtain. That is what gives the piece an outline — a shape with a top and a bottom, not a fringe. 4 It Has Something to Do in DaylightClear ridged glass catches daylight from a window exactly as it catches lamplight at night. Switched off it is still doing something, which a plain glass shade is not. Dimensions & Placement ∅ 27.9″ × H 19.7″ 71 × 50 cm · fixture body only Over a Dining TableAt 27.9″ across it suits a round table of 42–54″ or a rectangular one 36–48″ wide. Hang the lowest glass 30–36″ (75–90 cm) above the tabletop. Entry or Stair LandingCeilings from 9 ft (2.7 m). The body is only 19.7″ deep, so the drop is decided by the chain rather than the fixture. Keep 7 ft (2.1 m) of clearance anywhere people walk beneath it. Bedroom or Living RoomBest where daylight reaches it — beside a window the rods catch the sun as well as the bulb. Centre it in the room rather than over the bed if the ceiling is under 9 ft. Where It Must Not GoIndoor, dry locations only. Not a bathroom, not a covered porch. Also avoid directly over a hob — sixty pieces of ridged glass and cooking grease are a poor combination.

Our email: support@korewolamp.com What Makes It Special 01 The Twist Is the Whole Design Hold a smooth glass rod to the light and you get one highlight running down it — clean, and rather plain. Put a deep spiral into that same rod and you have dozens of ridges and hollows along its length, each one meeting the light at a different angle. Multiply that by sixty rods and the fixture stops being a shade with a bulb behind it. It becomes hundreds of small bright points, and because you are never standing still, they never stop moving. 02 Bright, But Never Harsh Faceted crystal works by reflecting light back at you — which is why a crystal chandelier can be dazzling to sit beneath. A rounded spiral does the opposite: it refracts and scatters, throwing light outward in every direction rather than returning it in hard points. You get the same sense of brilliance across the room, with none of the glare at the table. The gold frame does its part too — clear glass on its own can read cold, and the warm metal running up through the middle keeps the sparkle golden rather than silver. 03 Three Rings, Not One Curtain The rods hang in three stepped rings, each narrower and lower than the one above. That single decision is what separates this from a fringe: the layers overlap, the outline steps inward as it falls, and the piece reads as a shape with a top and a bottom rather than a curtain of glass. From directly beneath you look up through three depths at once; from across the room they close into one silhouette.

Hold a smooth glass rod up to a window. What you see is a single bright line running down one side of it — clean, correct, and rather dull. Every part of that rod meets the light at the same angle, so the light has only one thing it can do. Turn the rod and the highlight moves with you, but it never becomes more than one. Now put a deep spiral into the same piece of glass. The surface stops being a smooth curve and becomes a run of ridges and hollows winding from one end to the other — and every one of them meets the light at a different angle. One highlight becomes dozens. Nothing has been added: the same glass, the same light, only the surface changed. Odile is that idea repeated sixty times. Sixty spiral-cut rods hung in three stepped rings, so what you are looking at is not a shade with a bulb behind it but hundreds of small bright points held in the air. And because they sit at every conceivable angle to one another, the ones that catch your eye change as you cross the room. A fixture that is never quite the same twice from a chair, from a doorway, from the stairs. What the spiral does not do matters just as much. Faceted crystal is cut flat, and a flat facet reflects light straight back at you — brilliant from a distance, hard on the eyes underneath it. A rounded twist has no flat surface to bounce from. It refracts and scatters instead, sending light outward in every direction. You get the brilliance across the room and none of the glare at the table. The rest is restraint. Three rings, each stepped narrower and lower than the one above, so the rods overlap in layers and the outline reads as a shape rather than a curtain. And the frame in gold rather than chrome, because clear glass on its own runs cold — warm metal through the middle keeps the sparkle golden. Sixty Twists Every ridge meets the light at its own angle, so one rod carries dozens of highlights rather than one. Scatter, Not Reflect A rounded twist has no flat facet to bounce light back. Brilliance across the room, no glare at the table. Three Stepped Rings Each tier narrower and lower than the last, so the piece has an outline instead of a fringe. Same glass, same light — only the surface changed. Questions, Answered Before You Order Whether it will dazzle, whether your ceiling can take it, and how it looks switched off. 01Will it be too dazzling over a dining table? No — and that's the difference between this and a cut-crystal chandelier. A flat surface acts like a small mirror. Faceted crystal is cut flat, so it bounces light straight back at whoever is looking — brilliant from across the room, hard on the eyes underneath it. These rods are rounded, not flat. There is no flat face to bounce from, so instead of throwing light back the twists scatter it outward in every direction. You get the sparkle from across the room and none of the hard glare at the table. 02Will my ceiling hold it? Check before ordering. Sixty pieces of solid glass hang from one canopy, so this is considerably heavier than it looks in a photograph. Your electrician should confirm the ceiling box is rated for the weight and fixed into a joist rather than plasterboard alone — a standard box carries far less than most people assume, and a fixture this size often needs a brace fitted first. Ask us for the exact weight and pass it on before anyone books a fitting date. 03Is it too big for my table? At 27.9″ across it suits a round table of 42–54″ or a rectangular one 36–48″ wide. The usual guide is roughly half the table's width. Not sure? Cut a paper circle at 27.9″ and lay it on the table. Two minutes, and it settles the question better than any photograph can. 04What does it look like switched off? Still working. Clear ridged glass catches daylight from a window exactly as it catches lamplight at night — so in the morning it reads as an object rather than as a lamp waiting for the evening. A plain glass shade does nothing until you switch it on; this one has something to do all day. 05Why gold rather than chrome or black? Because clear glass on its own reads cold. Chrome pushes it further that way and the whole fixture starts to feel silver and clinical. The warm gold running up through the middle pulls the sparkle toward amber instead — which is also why it sits comfortably with wood, brass and warm-toned rooms rather than fighting them. 06How low should it hang? Over a dining table, the lowest glass should sit 30–36″ above the tabletop — lower than instinct suggests, but nobody walks under a table, and it puts the sparkle below eye level where you can actually see it. Anywhere people walk beneath it, keep 7 ft of clearance above the floor. The chain shortens on site, so the height is set on installation day. Need it longer for a stairwell? Tell us your ceiling height when you order. 07What bulbs does it take? Small candle bulbs — E12 in the US and Canada, E14 in Europe and most of Asia. Bulbs are not included. Choose LED in warm white, around 2700K, and use the same bulb in every socket. Cool white light through clear glass looks blue and drains the warmth out of the gold — it is the quickest way to make an expensive fixture look cheap. 08Can I dim it? Yes, with dimmable bulbs on a compatible dimmer switch. Ordinary bulbs will not dim whatever switch you fit — that is the usual reason people think a new light is faulty. Fit dimmable bulbs in every socket, not just some, since mixing types causes flicker, and add up their total wattage to check your dimmer is rated for it. 09Do the glass rods all look identical? Very close, but not machine-identical. Each rod is worked individually, so the twist can sit slightly tighter on one than another and the ridges catch light a fraction differently. On sixty rods that variation is what stops the fixture looking stamped out — and it is invisible unless you are holding two side by side. 10How do I clean it? Switch off, let the bulbs cool, then wipe the rods with a soft cloth, barely damp, followed by a dry one. Work from the top ring downward so dust falls away from what you have already done. The spiral grooves hold dust more than a smooth surface would, so a soft brush reaches into them better than a cloth — a clean paintbrush works well. Once or twice a year is plenty. And it is worth knowing before you buy: this is not a kitchen fixture. Sixty ridged rods and cooking grease are a poor combination. 11What if a rod arrives broken? Each rod hangs on its own hook, so a single damaged piece is replaced on its own — never the whole fixture, which would mean freight both ways and weeks with a bare ceiling. If anything arrives damaged, send us photos within 24 hours of delivery and we will send replacements. We also keep spares, so a rod broken later is not a problem either. 12Can I put it in a bathroom? No — this is an indoor fixture for dry rooms only, with no protection against water or steam. Dining rooms, entries, living rooms and bedrooms are all fine. Send us your ceiling height and table size and we'll confirm the chain length before it ships. Also worth seeing What a Ceiling Light Can't Reach A chandelier lights the middle of a room and stops there. These two take the wall beside it and the corner behind it — the parts of an evening that happen away from the table. Wall Textured Art Glass Tubular Wall Lamp Textured glass · Wall mounted A single ridged glass tube at eye level. Where the chandelier scatters light from above, this puts the same texture on the wall — and takes no floor and no ceiling to do it. In pairs it frames a doorway or a bed. Choose this if the room needs light away from the table, or there is a wall doing nothing beside the dining area. $585.00 View Product No wiring Welcome Sculpture Floor Lamp Sculptural · Floor standing For the corner nothing on the ceiling will ever reach. It plugs into a socket — no electrician, no holes, no permission if you rent — and it moves whenever the room does. Choose this if the darkest part of the room has no table to stand a lamp on and no wiring anywhere near it. $2,480.00 View Product
