An Art Deco falling spiral chandelier had crowds of party-goers mesmerised as they sent text messages to the light and watched their SMSs trickle through the crystal strands like a luxurious ticker tape.
"It's time to shake up the industry. There are too many chandeliers around with no life and soul -- just expensive cookie-cutter designs," said Nadja Swarovski, grand-daughter of the company's founder and vice president of communications.
"OMG LOL U SUX0R", said the chandelier.
All it needs is a web page where you can change it. And a camera pointed at it, so people on the web can get a glimpse of the current message.
Yeah, that'd be new and original.
My brain connects this to playing Tetris on the side of a building.
mmm, epiphenomena
always fun
I was just thinking how a chandelier would look great in my... hmm, well, nowhere. Who is the target market for such a thing?
"Museum curators", I imagine.
Anyone who could afford it?
heh, nice.
yeah, I guess that is generally the starting target market for any product.
Turn on almost any episode of MTV Cribs and you'll pretty much have your answer. :)
"This is where I get my read on."
Haha!
It would be cooler if the messages scrolled down the individual strands instead of around it. More Matrix screensaver, less marriage proposal at baseball game.
... "marriage proposal at baseball stadium" will probably prove a more valuable meme than "matrix screensaver". It's still a sentimental reason to prefer one over the other, but hey--it's my sentimental reason. Or something.
Yeah.
very pretty!! though i bet it'd be difficult reading those text from off the chandelier
...must be the funniest line I've read on LJ thus far.
Whoa. That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
