Stand By Me Custom Chandelier, Submarino Restaurant Oceanogràfic, València, 2000

Installed at the Submarino Restaurant inside the Oceanogràfic of Valencia, this custom Stand By composition was one of Aqua Creations' earliest large-scale architectural commissions. More than fifty silk discs, suspended at varying heights from a central structure, fill the ceiling of the room with a dense, layered field of warm golden light.

The restaurant sits within one of Europe's largest aquariums, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling underwater views. The installation was conceived as a complement to that environment — a canopy of warm solar light suspended above the cool blues of the deep, sun and water in the same room.
