CH99 - Links

INSPIRED BY PAUL RUDOLPH - LIGHT SCULPTURE DESIGNED BY JULIEN ALEKSANDRES

LINKS CH99 is a sculptural modernist chandelier by designer Julien “WOW” Aleksandres, inspired by Paul Rudolph’s distinctive use of pinwheel motifs in architecture. Reimagined as an illuminated geometric composition, LINKS transforms the simplicity of interconnected squares and rectangles into a striking three-dimensional presence overhead. Its architectural outline creates a compelling interplay of line, proportion, and negative space, whether viewed as a singular statement or as an integral element of a larger interior composition.

Designed for architects and interior designers, LINKS offers exceptional freedom of specification. The square or rectangular configuration can be customized to almost any dimensions. Choose upward illumination for a sculptural wash of reflected light, or combine uplighting and downlighting to introduce additional dimension and functionality.

A selection of finishes allows the fixture to complement the material palette and architectural character of each project. Flexible suspension and mounting options further support integration into contemporary residences, hospitality interiors, galleries, and sophisticated commercial environments.

For designers seeking lighting that transcends the conventional chandelier, LINKS is both a functional light fixture and an architectural sculpture. Its geometry can establish a visual rhythm, define a space, or create a dramatic focal point, while its customizable proportions allow the design to respond directly to the architecture rather than the other way around.

Designed and handcrafted in New York City, LINKS continues Paul Rudolph’s legacy of treating light as an essential component of architectural expression. Specify LINKS to your project's dimensions, geometry, finish, and lighting requirements—and make the fixture an intentional part of the architecture itself. Julien created a fixture that’s designed to be designed.
