According to Design Sponge these chandeliers have made the internet-rounds but this is the first time I've seen them.  They are f-in fabulous.  I love, love, love furniture and decor that mixes feminine glam with industrial materials - to please my inner Goth girl of course.

Chandeliers especially have been something that I've been drawn to in recent years. In the past they may have been considered a decadent piece for particular tastes, but in modern design they are much more whimsical and add flair to sterile, urban spaces.  Though I don't have that tri-level industrial loft space with dark teal walls and brown leather chairs, I have imagined a chandelier such as this in that space.

These Brooklyn-made chandeliers from Michael Mchale marry together the unlikely components of new and old.  Distressed brass pipes and fittings, many of which were re-claimed from various building sites in Louisiana and New York, make up the bones of the chandelier.  They are then draped with Swarovski's crystal (though you can get a cheaper crystal for about $1000 less) and common light sources such as low-wattage refrigerator bulbs are used in the center and main axes which generates the warm glow that you see. 

Every piece is handmade and never mass produced.  Therefore no two are alike. I adore this 13-watt Mini Billiards Chandelier.  It's going for the low, low price of $4700. :D
