INSPIRATION: The Chandelier Hibis draws its essence from an early example of a composite capital from the Temple of Amun at Hibis in Egypt’s Kharga Oasis. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this ancient capital features an elegant design incorporating the common papyrus and foxtail flatsedge plants, reflecting the intricate artisanship and artistic heritage preserved by The Met.
