A call out to the PH collective. We are building our new house in the near future and need to find a chandelier that has a long drop. I am thinking about something along the lines of a spiral of lights that will match the curvature of the staircase but problem is the drop. It is hanging from a ceiling 7.5m high so will need a drop of 5m at its longest point.

Any suggestions out there will be welcome even if we have to have it custom made.

Garage is planned to be in front garden below where the cars are. Planning for this bit needs to be secured. It was more important to get the planning for the house through first. Will poss need to have platform lift down into garage which would be cool. We have enough height to do this with no change to topography of garden.

Thats a huge light! Most of our big chandeliers (3 meter and bigger) are made to order. We do some off the shelf, but they are very traditional and I dont think what you are looking for.

Is this the sort of thing your looking for? This is a bit small for you at a 2.7 meter drop. I'm just trying to get an idea if we cant do anything I can point you in the right direction.

Thats the sort of thing. I am looking for the height of the light to be 2m-3m but this still needs a drop to the top of the highest light fitting to be at least 3m.

Something like this with she shortest drop being about 3m
