30 Pencil Icosahedron -- $ 79.72| Buy it here | [via Design Spotter]
Designer Michiel Cornelissen creates a perfect blend of technology and readymade craft with his 30 Pencil Icosahedron kit. The connecting joints are 3d printed, and coupled with 30 pencils (provided by you) creates a cool icosahedron shape. I would prefer to skip the lamp shade function and just have them around to play with as a sculptural toy.

What!? I can hardly believe my eyes! Lindsey Adelman (of Bubble Chandelier fame) has provided instructions on how to make your very own chandelier. Be still my heart. Morgan of The Brick House (pic of hers lower right) made one and estimates the cost to be around $120. Freaking amazing.

Bubble Chandelier -- $ 9,600.00| Buy it here | [via]
Oh my, what loveliness is this? Traditional-interiors-plus-modern-furnishings product shots gets me every time… too freaking bad that the price is *way* over any budget for a light fixture that I can ever hope to have.
The Bubble Chandelier, featuring hand-blown glass globes and custom hardware finishing, is assembled at Lindsey Adelman’s studio in Brooklyn, NY. The fixture’s dimensions and drop length are chosen to best suit the space. The branching version is modular, making it incredibly versatile and allowing both vertical and horizontal orientations. Professional installation required.

Edison Chandelier -- $ 399.00| Buy it here
This is one crazy octopus-like chandelier, but the industrial feel could look very good in the right sort of setting. Looks like you’d have license to hang it however you’d like, so that could be fun figuring out whether to go symmetrical or all-out random.
Around the turn of the century, designers like Adolf Loos were drawn to the austere beauty of industrial light fixtures and adapted them for home interiors. In that spirit, we’ve taken the bare essentials of lighting – wires, sockets and bulbs – and elevated them to a lofty aesthetic. The chandelier can be hung in any configuration to suit any room’s decor. Ten fabric-covered cords extend from a circular bronzed ceiling plate. Clear oversized bulbs have visible filaments (included). Cords are 46″ l.
Overall: 5.5″ diameter, 50.5″ long
Canopy: 5.5″ diameter, 1.5″ high

Corona Chandelier -- $ 1,150.00| Buy it here
I like how this looks kind of upside down and how the historic bulbs play off the otherwise modern styling.
Lighting distilled to its essence. Created by acclaimed designer Rico Espinet, this industrial-chic chandelier pairs a thick band of bronze-finished metal with 12 exposed bulbs. A dramatic centerpiece for the dining room or entry, it’s suspended from three fixed rods attached to an adjustable center rod. Uses twelve 40W max. type A historic bulbs (included). UL-approved. Professional installation recommended. 24″ diam.; height adjusts from 46″ to 82″.

Broadway Linear Crystal Chandelier by James R. Moder -- $ 750.00| Buy it here
I recently saw this in person and it’s pretty spectacular.
The James R. Moder Broadway Linear Crystal Chandelier is old-world, crystal magnificence in a contemporary setting. Crystals hang from both ends of multiple strands that can be wound around the central fixture. Truly, no two Broadway chandeliers are the same, as the strands can be positioned randomly, creating a unique layer of crystal on both sides of the Candelabra lamps.
