The 'Chiquita Chandelier' may actually be more of a playful piece of ceiling art rather than a functioning light fixture. What type of lamps used have not been mentioned, but they would have to be of the low heat producing type.
Dutch designer Anneke Jakobs collected the banana cartons from the streets while attending college. She also encourages others who appreciate the yellow and blue fixture to build one for themselves.
Wouldn't this be a fun addition to a covered outdoor summer party space? Get started now and you'll have yours ready for next spring!
