Chandelier inspired by Madame Curie is the brainiest light fixture we’ve seen

Madame Curie is one of the most famous female scientists in the history and her legend has kept the spirit of science alive for little girls through the generations. Being the most famous woman of science so far and the discoverer of polonium and radium, you’d think a light fixture inspired by her would be crafted out of these elements. But designer Pani Jurek decided that to shy away from using an all-too obvious idea and chose to design a chandelier using plywood rings and chemistry ready-made tubes.

Maria S.C. Chandelier

The Maria S.C. chandelier allows users to set the light up in various arrangements and configurations to suit their decor. The versatile light fixture is even named after the famous polish scientist Maria Sklodowska-Curie. Though the chemistry tubes featured in the design do not appear to be used, if the designer can find a way to incorporate the ones discarded from labs and schools, the light fixture could become one helluva statement piece for the eco conscious decorator.
