Swing time: Glass and colour chandeliers are trending 

Kya deLongchamps takes her pick of the pendants and shows how to style them to suit your space

Maluma from Fritz Hansen (DK) in Moss.

Pendant lighting gliding through our eye-line has a special character. This year sees a renewed fascination with coloured and speciality glass pieces that glow with gem-like beauty whether lit from within, refracting and reflecting daylight, or simply being enjoyed for their polished silhouette. 

The thickness and intensity of the colour in the glass or acrylic will show off more or less of the bulb, the shape of which can be a feature in itself. Whether you love a high chandelier, a staircase dandy, or an intimate addition swung low to anchor a table or seating spot, here are just six of our favourite vintage and new statement pieces for fashionable jewel flash.
