Project Name: Rousseau Grande Articulating Chandelier 

Designer: Kelly Wearstler 

For over 30 years, Visual Comfort has produced lighting with some of the most influential names in design such as American designer, Kelly Wearstler. Considered one of this generation’s most influential interior designers, Wearstler is highly praised for her trendsetting, artistic concepts. Aside from her four successfully published books, her expansive list of credits includes, not only collaborations with some of the industry’s most respected brands, but also landed her a spot in TIME Style & Design’s elite “Design 100” group of global creatives. More mentions from her career include features in several international publications including Vogue, Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, and InStyle Magazine, and her ever-growing portfolio of commercial work creating grand residential interiors for some of the world’s most prominent players in the worlds of art, business, and entertainment. 

Widely credited with redefining modern chic, the Kelly Wearstler Lighting Collection for Visual Comfort draws upon Kelly’s love of mixed metals, stones, and unique textures, employing an inventive use of scale and depth. Delivering her signature “raw and refined” aesthetic to the world of high-end lighting, Wearstler melds sophistication and spirited spontaneity, seamlessly blending diverse periods to revolutionize the look, feel and meaning of modern American design. Renowned for her distinctive aesthetic approach and signature soulful vibe, Wearstler’s extensive lighting collection for Visual Comfort interprets the full spectrum of design from vintage sophistication to modern chic, with a luxurious and unique result – beautifully represented in the Rousseau Chandelier. Slender and refined, the Rousseau is an iconic convergence of modern design and minimalist form. Its thin, tubular arms and rich, lustrous finishes give it a distinct and sleek appearance embodying contemporary elegance. Its LED lights inside of etched crystal or seeded glass shades resonate a refined and warm illumination that adds a structural appeal to its surroundings. 

Minimalist in form, the Rousseau has a distinct and sleek appearance that embodies modern elegance. An impressive, stemmed luminary with austere lines displays LEDs which are housed in etched crystal or seeded glass lenses that cast a warm and brilliant light in any space.
