I am in search of the Sunlit Chandelier. I made a comment with the buildings people at my work about it and they said, “how much?, let’s fill the buildings”. It would be wonderful to fund the building of more of these if they are a feasible design.

I too, was/ am interested in the sunlit chandelier!

It is made by Parans, a Swedish (?) company.

Fiberoptic cable is really expensive.

The design of the sunlight collector by Parans is probably prohibitively expensive and complicated.... as it has to be to work well.

With a business budget though, get in contact with Parans through their website and have at it.

Peace and silence

in the soul of

the present ; a bird,

leaving the country,

arrives near the

care now reflecting

your feeling and then,

in the meantime,

that beautiful flow

seems a light

in the heart of the

wisdom.

This place is super cool, but only open in the summer. Bummer.

so it’s cool that they use corn-plastic cups for the beers, but wouldn’t it make more sense to just use glasses?

After I read the (original) article, I contacted the cafe. After a few attempts, I got through and spoke to an employee who knew nothing about the chandelier (incomprehensible to me, but taken in-stride). They indicated that they would have someone who knew get back to me. Never happened. I just read about Parans and have contacted them. I am trying to get this implemented at Patagonia, but would like specifics before I run it up the flagpole; "expensive" is not too useful.
