mYwaY | Misha Vos's masterpiece, the "Heavy Guy Chandelier"


Utterly devoid of excess, yet remarkably decorative


Misha Vos's "Heavy Guy Chandelier"


The "Heavy Guy Chandelier" is a chandelier that, while using unadorned, familiar materials like stainless steel rods, light bulbs, and wiring cords, possesses a refined structural beauty. It has now become more energy-efficient, with the plug compatible with LED and compact fluorescent bulbs, and can also express various moods depending on the bulbs used.

A Masterpiece from a Designer Who Prioritizes Harmony Between Components and Form


This is, in short, a chandelier stripped down to its absolute essentials. The bulbs are suspended in mid-air by stainless steel arms, which naturally curve beautifully under the weight of the bulbs. Furthermore, the curves formed by the electrical cables under gravity serve not only their primary function but also as a design element.

The arrangement of these unadorned components creates a sense of delicacy and decorative flair, while the chandelier's appearance transforms depending on the shape, brightness, and color of the bulbs used.

Incandescent bulbs (60W each) x 5 = 300W
Compact fluorescent bulbs (12W each, equivalent to 60W incandescent) x 5 = 60W
LED bulbs (5W each, equivalent to 60W incandescent) x 5 = 25W

Using clear incandescent bulbs highlights the internal filaments, creating a nostalgic ambiance. With compact fluorescent bulbs that closely resemble incandescent ones, the brightness is nearly the same as white incandescent bulbs, but with one-fifth the power consumption. And when using the popular LED bulbs, the impression becomes sharp and modern. The benefit of achieving the brightness equivalent to 300W of incandescent bulbs with a mere 12W of power consumption is significant.

Compact fluorescent bulbs consume one-fifth the power of incandescent bulbs, and LED bulbs consume one-twelfth. While considering the environmental aspect, it's also good to choose bulbs based on the desired ambiance of the space (bulbs sold separately). The designer is Misha Vos from the Netherlands. This product is a testament to his unique approach, as he places the utmost importance on the harmony between components and form during his design process.
