Pre-Production Consulting for an 8-Meter Chandelier – Making the Impossible Buildable

For a VIP client, one of our partners was commissioned to create an exceptional chandelier over 8 meters high. The piece had to be installed in a private property with demanding aesthetic requirements and significant structural constraints.
Challenge
The original concept was a single, massive structure: visually spectacular, but almost impossible to transport, pack, and install safely
The weight of the chandelier raised serious concerns about the long-term strength of the ceiling
Complex electrical routing, limited access, and high expectations meant that the risk of last-minute problems was very high
Our approach
We intervened at the pre-production stage to support our client and help them advise their own VIP client:
Modular design for transport & installation
We recommended designing the chandelier in separate sections rather than as one block.
This modular design allowed for safer packing, shipping, handling, and on-site assembly.
Structural reinforcement – I-beam (IPN) recommendation
After several site visits and technical discussions, we advised installing a steel I-beam (IPN) in the ceiling structure.
This ensured the safety and long-term stability of the hanging system, given the chandelier’s total weight.
Support during fabrication – electrification and installation planning
We accompanied our client throughout the manufacturing process, especially on the electrical design.
The goal: make the final installation simpler, safer, and cleaner, with wiring and connections planned for both reliability and a flawless visual result.
Result
The chandelier was produced, transported, and installed without structural or technical issues, exactly as envisioned by the designer and the VIP client.
This project highlights a key dimension of our work: we don’t just move exceptional pieces—we help design them in a way that makes transport, installation, and long-term safety truly possible.
