The Sphere Chandelier from the Candy Collection designed by the Campana Brothers was recently installed in the Contemporary Design Gallery. Inspired by candy sold at markets in Brazil, the chandelier is mold-blown and cased in colors over plain glass. The chandelier was produced by the Czech glass manufacturer Lasvit. The chandelier is the first piece of contemporary Brazilian design in the museum’s collection.

Designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners, the museum was recently awarded the AIANY Design Award for the wing. Curved white walls guide the visitor through free-standing displays while a skylight system fills the space with natural light.
