leah’s ebay finds: zoom chandelier


If you read my blog, you may remember the awesome Zoom Chandelier in Jim and Kari’s Evanston home. It normally retails for $1,599 (yep, you read that right). But I did a quick search on trusty old eBay and found it for several hundred less. It’s still quite pricey, mind you. But it is pretty dang cool — and I’m sure you could find lots of other fun ways to spend the $600 you’d save. The German-made, stainless-steel-and-halogen fixture was designed by Floyd Paxton for Serien Lighting, and expands from less than 8 inches to more than 4 feet in diameter. The seller will rewire it to meet U.S. code. Buy It Now for $999, plus $50 shipping from Germany. –Leah H.
