Designer Willie Williams conceived the spaceship-like chandelier at Omnia Nightclub at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, part of Hakkasan Group, and Tait engineered and built it.
Check out the stats, courtesy of Tait, of the massive moving thing, and scroll down to watch it come alive (around 2:10 on the video).
- All eight rings are composed of frosted vaccu-formed plastic and have a pearl mouse gray interior finish.
- The total weight of the chandelier is 13,000lbs.
- From concept to completion, a total of 22,000 hours, or 2.5 years, went into the making of the chandelier.
- The largest “lighting ring,” number eight, is approximately 32’ in diameter and weighs 4,750lbs.
- The smallest ring is approximately 13’ in diameter and weighs 2,000lbs.
- The “penny roll” rings—five, six, and seven—are approximately 17’, 21’, and 25’-6” in diameter, respectively, and their combined weight is 4,500lbs.
- The “chandelier” center rings—one, two, and three— are approximately 3, 5’, and 7’ in diameter, respectively, and their combined weight is 1,750 lbs.
- A total of 21 winches in the grid allow the rings to effortlessly move through the space.
- The weight including the winches in the grid is approximately 22,000lbs.
- Winches run at 1m per second.
- 20,152 individual tri-color LED pixels are used in the chandelier
- There is a total of approximately 2,250’ of cable, about the length of 2.3 cruise ships, holding up the rings.
