Islamic Geometric Chandelier
The Islamic Geometric Chandelier is an interior installation study that brings pattern, colour and sound references into a suspended field of illuminated elements. Its profile changes in depth as the individual tubes rise and fall across the composition.
The design begins with a radiating geometric pattern. This is transformed into a curved overhead arrangement rather than reproduced as a flat ornament. The resulting form can be read both as a ceiling element and as a three-dimensional object within the room.

The presentation material brings together Islamic geometric references, a colour study and diagrams of the Adhan’s sound wave. These are sources for the design process. The published drawings do not establish a numerical correspondence between a religious text, each colour and every physical dimension.
The assembly drawing identifies a steel frame, connections and acrylic tube lights. This documented system is more precise than describing the installation simply as a glass sculpture. The interior views show how the suspended elements establish an illuminated plane above the visitor.
Colour is distributed across the tubes, while their varying lengths give the underside a changing contour. From below, the geometric pattern remains legible; from an oblique position, the depth and spacing of the elements become more apparent.
The sound reference supports the study’s relationship between acoustic rhythm and spatial form. It should not be taken as evidence of an installed kinetic mechanism without separate technical documentation.
The accompanying Adhan recording is included as a reference within the design study.
The reference recording accompanies the drawings as part of the project documentation.
This study relates the office’s work on geometric form to the scale of an interior object. Its contribution lies in the development of a suspended arrangement from visual and acoustic references, with the assembly drawing recording the proposed material system.
