Amphora Basket Chandeliers

Posted by Andrew Brott on 2/27/2007

This is a set of two 28" x 28" x 48" U.L. Listed Blown Glass Sculptures, for Crave Restaurant in Edina Minnesota, which opened February 1st 2007. They are part of my "Satsuma" and "Basket" Series. Crave's kitchen just began to function while we were installing 3 of our 5 Chandeliers, and the food was fantastic!!! Their kitchen features a wood fired oven, a complete sushi bar, and an extensive wine list. Owners Kam and Keyvan Talebi know what they are doing, and impressed the hell out of this fussy New Orleanian. Crave is located at Galleria, 3510 W. 70th St., Edina Mn.

Warm Regards,

Satsumas ablaze They joy of working with and knowing U.L. code 1598, is you can make thiings much brighter and safer than you ever could just designing and constructing off the top of your head. Each lit sculpture has 400 watts of incandescent illumination 576 x 768 px (110 KB) 0 Comments		Crude Drawing Another quick reminder. All of my work is Copy written and can not be reproduced in any fashion with out my express written consent. I have much nicer shop drawings, but have been advised to stop showing all my stuff online... 559 x 768 px (87 KB) 0 Comments
Unfinished fram James (Jimmy) Ronner did all of the bending and welding of the copper plated steel frame in my tiny New Orleans studio. 583 x 768 px (153 KB) 0 Comments	Ball, Balls and Thanks again to Eddie and Angela Bernard and all the folks at the New Orleans Creative Glass Institute or NOCGI.. Jimmy and I spent many hours, blowing hundreds of pounds of glass to complete all 5 of Craves Sculptures. 1024 x 778 px (299 KB) 0 Comments	Close to a matc Due to some last minute changes from the G.C, we had to shrink/cut one of the completed frames 5" to fit the space. All of the interior raceway wiring used 200c-18 gauge wire, and SPT-2 wire to get from the J-Box to the frame. 442 x 336 px (39 KB) 0 Comments
Studio test We did our dielectric testing, and filled each fixture with balls in the studio to be sure we had enough... 336 x 442 px (42 KB) 0 Comments	Final Test They may look big and heavy, but each fixture weighs under 104lbs. That still never stops me from testing each mounting plate to be sure it's safe... 583 x 768 px (91 KB) 0 Comments	Thanks Sushi chef Tony Lamb fed us some damn ass yummy Sushi thanks 336 x 442 px (35 KB) 0 Comments
Flowers at the Have yet to get good photos (they were still completing construction when we finished) but the top of each basket has iridescent glass flowers that project amazing colors onto the ceiling. 448 x 336 px (51 KB) 0 Comments	Photo with the The balls are a mixture of earth toned reds, yellows, and oranges. Each ball was coated with an iridescent luster, then quenched in water (while hot) to "crackle", then reduced to create contrast with the base color. Light reflects off each ball. 336 x 442 px (39 KB) 0 Comments	PLEASE BE SAFE! For those of y'all building chandeliers and lamps without a U.L. license be forewarned: what you are doing is not only unsafe, but is also in violation of N.E.C. (National Electric Code) and in many cases ILLEGAL!!! 336 x 442 px (50 KB) 0 Comments
Willing to help That being said, I love some of the work y'all are making, and I am more than willing to help with any of your N.E.C. questions. I just want our glass community to be a safe one. "Code is Code for a reason, it separates amateurs from pros" 292 x 448 px (30 KB) 0 Comments	How to Change a For those of y'all who wondered... In order to remain temperature test exempt as stated in section 7.2 of U.L. 1598, I only used incandescent bulbs that are easily changed. 442 x 336 px (38 KB) 0 Comments
