Rob Brandts is a sculptor who lives outside of Rotterdam. About 5 years ago, he was drinking coffee out of a plastic cup and the indentation left by his thumb suddenly caught his attention. He decided to have the indented cup turned into a ceramic model and made a few for a show in a gallery. They sold out immediately and he decided to mass produce them for steady income. These plastic-ceramic cups have been a big success for Rob. This chandelier has nine of the cups with a halogen bulb inside and the black wires are heavy duty electrician's wire so they can be bent back and forth. The idea is of an upside down compost heap with the gold dripping off the black base onto the gold "potato".
