The FABulous Victoria & Albert Museum


Canada-based designer Omer Arbel presented a massive, custom 28.280 chandelier stretching more than 30 meters in the main atrium. The installation was made up of 280 individual 28 Series glass pendant lamps, each of which is handmade at the Bocci glass factory in Canada.

The Wind Portal is a dramatic gateway constructed from 5,000 paper windmills turning in the breeze. Created by Lebanese designer, Najla El Zein, specifically for the V&A, this walk-through installation creates a playful airway, drawing wind and light into the galleries beyond.
