The Cascade chandelier has been one of the most popular designs that I've made. With the classic height and sweeping appearance, it evokes a sense of familiarity to traditional antler lighting. This design is typically made up of six Red Deer antlers in the outer ring with three that sweep up to a crown. Other variations can be ordered upon request, for a larger or smaller diameter. The Cascade has been a key feature to entry foyers, dining table lighting as well as open plan central lighting.

The Livingston Bell chandelier has an interesting backstory. I was inspired to create this chandelier, after a trip to Malawi, Africa in 2014. I visited the mountain town of Livingstonia, where David Livingston, the explorer had inspired a mission outpost in the 1870's. Atop the church on the hill is a bell tower, with a very small bell compared to the size of the tower. This is because the original handmade brass bell that was shipped from England (0ver a meter in diameter and weighing hundreds of kg's) over the high seas and manhandled all the way from the African coastline to the top of the mountain (many hundreds of km's) was accidently dropped just before its installation to the grand tower. It cracked the rim of the bell and would never chime a sweet sound again! (It can be still seen in the town centre on top of a roundabout.) A second brass bell was sent for from England and made it safely. Though this new bell was only a quarter of the size! It still hangs in the tower to this day and can be heard to chime every Sunday for the weekly church services. (I even gave it a gong as I climbed the tower!) This chandelier is made of four Red Deer antlers in a square formation on the bottom and four that sweep up to the centre.
Some of the most suited applications for this design has been in a stairwell area, with double height ceilings, or an entry foyer with double height ceilings. Or even over a dining table.

This Two-Tier design is an elegant style of chandelier that allows a unique look with the top layer (Bermuda In) being separately suspended from the bottom layer (Orbit). The two layers are separately adjustable for height. So, you can create as much or as little distance between the two. This can allow another level of options for lighting control. Both of the layers can be switched separately. (If addition wiring and switching is installed to the ceiling connection point.)
This chandelier is typically suited to large open plan areas, or formal areas with a higher ceiling.

The Royal, was originally a custom design that is similar to the Cascade, the difference being, it is hung from a central chain, and only has five antlers for the circumference and four that sweep up to the crown, and only has lights on the outer ring. This design can sometimes be difficult to create a round looking outer ring, (with only 5 antlers) and can sometimes take on the look of a pentagon, depending which antlers are available to work with at the time. Typically suited for installation in open plan areas or dining areas.

The Patterson was originally a bespoke design for a client, that had found his own antlers in the Victorian High Country Australia. He asked me to create something grand, with as many of his prized pickups as I could. This particular design was created with Sambar deer antlers, though, it could be re-created with a number of other available species antlers. The Patterson is made up of 8 antlers around the base ring, and a top layer of 3 in a Bermuda style. It is joined together with 'stays' of antlers. It is in a way similar to the two-tier design, though, the two layers rigidly connected.
This large chandelier is best suited to high ceilings, and an open plan area.

The Jupiter Sphere is a striking design that is like no other. It is made from Fallow deer antlers. This Australian species of deer is the closest relative to the moose, (not found in Australia) though only one tenth of their body size. These two deer species are the only deer to grow an antler with a flat paddle or palm type of shape. all the other species grow a main round beam, with points branching off to one side.
This Jupiter Sphere design has the ability to create some very dramatic shadow effects on its surrounding walls, or ceiling, as the light source is from the middle of the sphere. This can be subdued if a pearl/frosted type of globe is used instead of a clear glass type.
Typically, it has been installed in stairwell voids, of double height entryways or open plan living areas with high ceilings.

The Lotus is a grand traditional style of chandelier with width and height to command the eye towards it, and lights on multiple levels. It has the resemblance of an opening Lotus flower. This design unlike most of the Rapid Effects range, is a centrally hung chandelier, with a large chain.
This design is best appreciated in a large room with high ceilings.

The Crown of Thorns would have to be one of the most elegant and simplistic, yet impactful designs in my range to date. With twelve Red Deer antlers set into a near perfect ring, and suspended from only 4, almost translucent stainless-steel wires. The crown of Thorns almost appears to levitate in its surroundings. This stripped back design that hides nothing, is best suited to a large entry area, or an open plan large room. A high ceiling is not required for this design with individual ceiling fixture points. (Access into ceiling void is required for additional individual structural support for this design)
note: power cable is on the perimeter, and not in the centre. Power can be connected in a ceiling canopy or within the roof cavity.

The Vortex is a unique design that is far from a traditional antler chandelier that you may have seen before. With its open aperture and multi layers, it can suck you in, and draw your attention towards it. The Vortex boasts eight lights on the top and four to the bottom. It is sure to light up a room with an effect like no other. This unique design is suited to a grand open plan room with high ceilings or a large entry foyer area with high ceilings.

The Pinnacle is the cream of the crop. The largest (tallest) design that I've made to date. It boasts over fifty antlers and eighteen lights. With a two-meter wingspan and two meters tall. Surely it would have to be seen from most areas of the dwelling! I'm probably wasting my words here, but, you need a large room and ceiling to let this one sing!
Created with both Elk and Red Deer antlers, this is absolutely a statement piece.

The King's Banquet is a chandelier like no other! It's like a big piece of art that you can't see all of it without moving your head! At over five and a half meters long, suspended from a six-meter-high ceiling over a six-and-a-half-meter long island kitchen bench. Its visible from the whole living area. The King's Banquet is made with two rows of nine antlers and a space of one antler between the rows, and 3 sets of antlers on top as a crown. The dramatic style of the points dripping down, coupled with the three spaced out crowns on the top, evoke a King's Crown feeling. Not to mention the grand length of the feast worthy sized benchtop under it. This bespoke piece was specifically designed for a valued repeat customer that has an eye for unique greatness. If this design doesn't fit that bill of greatness, then get in touch and let's make something greater.
