Let It Happen – Chapter XXI
At the peak of chaos, there were three different crews working; and the bedlam went on for three days.
Bette was shuttling between all three, and tempers were running short in all three, particularly amongst the designers.
The first set of lighting features were the easier ones to install during the first two days: one was for their bedroom, a mesmeric cloud light, made up of nineteen frozen glass orbs hung from special aged brass fronds, that were specially mounted by a crew; and one a pretty pendant-like lighting feature which mimicked a large illuminated floral branch spreading across the ceiling for the large studio-type room in one corner of the second floor of the duplex. The studio could be converted into a bedroom, in case they ran out of space for guests, whose glass doors opened to the new custom spiral staircase that led to the terrace Bette had installed in the roof.
The third light feature was an inventive cherrywood-veneer circular chandelier measuring nearly three feet in diameter that featured an endless number of concentric smaller wooden circles inside the large circle, which seemed to convey movement and creativity. Bette had it hung over the kitchen space.
The second set was comprised of the more complex lighting features Bette had helped to design: one was hung over the entrance, which dropped down dramatically from the full height of the duplex, created using the pendant chandelier design that had become popular. In this case the lighting feature mimicked rainfall, comprised of a mass of dozens and dozens of cast-iron bronze buds each housing a tempered glass drop that was lit up with LEDs, and that looked like they had fallen from the sky, but were actually connected by thin wires connected to a robust metal structure bolted to the ceiling and whose design matched those of the doors to be found throughout the house. The heights of the bronze buds could be adjusted, but it was most jaw-dropping when hung low, about 9 feet from the floor.
This lighting feature announced the design esthetic of Bette and Tina’s home effectively. “That wow! factor,” Bette explained to Tina, as she excitedly sketched this particular lighting feature out for the blonde after coming home the previous night, when that installation had been completed.
