Description
The Tenacious Chandelier
Tenacious means to keep a strong hold and stand firm — qualities deeply reflected in the history of Robben Island prison, where Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters endured hardship with unwavering strength.
This ethical, environmentally conscious lightwork is inspired by fencing rescued from Robben Island, combined with carefully chosen found objects.
Owning the Tenacious Chandelier is a way to bring a meaningful piece of South African history into your home, transforming a symbol of struggle into a powerful beacon of hope, resilience, and enduring spirit.
SIZE: Bell-shaped chandelier – 300mm Height × 200mm Width

Charmaine chose the fencing pieces following the principle:
“As the fence is, so it is” — no welding or hammering was used, preserving their authentic scars and textures.
