Description
Our Shanaya chandelier is a real showstopper. Its three-tiered statement design made from antique bronzed metal with panels of mercury-finished glass not only looks beautiful unlit, but will diffuse a warm glow in your chosen location. Perfect as an arresting hallway chandelier or as a centrepiece in a living room or dining room. Each tier sits beautifully within the other for a cascading effect of shimmering aged glass that we've hung from a simple link chain with an understated dark flex to match.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this chandelier because of its vintage-inspired, antique bronze finish combined with the mottled glass, which adds a touch of rustic charm. It works particularly well in a mix of traditional or industrial interiors, but can also bring warmth and character to more contemporary spaces with neutral palettes. Practical styling tips include hanging it in a dining room or over a kitchen island for focal lighting, and pairing it with exposed filament bulbs for a more authentic feel. Keep space around it clear to let its unique design shine, and consider dimmable bulbs to control lighting levels for different moods. It's a versatile piece that can elevate the overall aesthetic and add a sense of curated sophistication.

The journey began with a business plan drafted on a beach, with the name "Nkuku" taken from a Zambian village they passed.
