Eichholtz x corey damen jenkins: a roaring twenties chandelier revival
A glimpse into the 1920s: eichholtz's new lighting collection
Drawing inspiration from the opulent era of the 1920s, the new lighting collection from Eichholtz, in collaboration with renowned designer Corey Damen Jenkins, seeks to capture the essence of flapper-era glamour. Jenkins, a celebrated figure on ELLE Decor’s A-List, is recognized for his signature style of rich interiors and refined maximalism. His firm, Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, based in New York City, has consistently delivered stunning and sophisticated designs, and this collection promises to be no different.
The erika s chandelier: a statement piece
The centerpiece of the collection is the Erika S chandelier, priced at $2,495 and available at eichholtz.com. This dazzling creation features hand-cast glass feathers artfully arranged to evoke the imagery of plumed fans and jeweled headdresses that were hallmarks of glamorous 1920s parties. It's a piece designed to command attention and elevate any space.
Design details: brass, glass, and texture
The chandelier’s design is a thoughtful balance of materials and textures. A circular brass frame provides a sturdy foundation, while the ribbed texture of the glass diffuses the light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The careful selection of materials contributes to the overall feeling of sophistication and luxury, reflecting the design philosophy of both Jenkins and Eichholtz.
Architectural simplicity meets organic rhythm
Beyond its visual appeal, the Erika S chandelier demonstrates a harmonious blend of architectural simplicity and an organic rhythm. The metal band, reminiscent of a crown or coronet, adds a touch of regal elegance and anchors the piece with a sense of grounded stability. This combination creates a silhouette that is both majestic and cinematic, making it a truly exceptional piece of lighting design.
Beyond the chandelier: matching fixtures
- Larger Pendant: Offers a more substantial presence for grander spaces.
- Wall Sconce: Provides ambient lighting while maintaining the collection's aesthetic.
The Erika S design isn't limited to just the chandelier; it's available as a larger pendant and a wall sconce, allowing for a cohesive lighting scheme throughout a home. This versatility ensures that the collection can be adapted to suit a variety of design styles and spatial requirements, from a Parisian ballroom to a chic powder room.
The vision behind the design
According to original sketches, Jenkins sought to capture the spirit of the Roaring Twenties while employing a modern sensibility. The chandelier’s couture-like iridescence and shimmering quality are deliberate choices intended to evoke a sense of luxury and timelessness. This collection represents a successful fusion of classic inspiration and contemporary design, a hallmark of Corey Damen Jenkins’ work.
