Glass Chandeliers in Fashion Mall at Keystone, USA

Four different point-supported glass chandeliers are focal points of the newly renovated shopping mall in Keystone, Indianapolis, USA. Each chandelier consists of hanging glass plates, which are point-supported from brackets on stainless steel rings.

Structure

The largest chandelier has an elliptical shape with an outer diameter of 11 meters (36 feet). The glass plates with a height of 3 m (11 ft) are oriented at angles to each other, fanning outward towards the bottom.

The RSTAB model accurately followed the assembly of the physical parts, including the tiny details of the connectors. This allowed reliable prediction of the flexible deformations and the dynamic behavior.

The decorative glass is illuminated at night with intense, colorful, blue and red lights. The glass also plays a decisive role in the overall system, as it stabilizes the rings against rotation.
