Using Aphrodite as a design inspiration, Tannan Winter created a candle chandelier that creatively also works as a showerhead.
The Tannan Winter chandelier/showerhead hybrid sits over a tub, creating soft bathroom lighting and a shower. What a crazy cool idea! Take a look at images of the creation of the chandelier and final product above.
Implications - Hybridization is the watchword of innovation, and that is what makes this particular chandelier stand out. There is a sense of discovery and excitement in products that serve more than one function simultaneously, and as a result, they offer consumers the opportunity to show off their taste and ingenuity. Companies that take advantage of this need give their customers the license to fill their home with quirky and unusual creations.
