Riviere Chain Chandelier

A closer fit for your
everyday comfort.

Riviere Glass Chain Chandelier — jewellery for the ceiling. Named after the classic jewellery strand, the Rivière reimagines a chandelier as a draping garland of hand-blown glass beads strung between two ceiling rosettes with golden accents. Each ribbed glass shade catches the integrated LED light and scatters it softly outward — an arc of warm luminescence that transforms the ceiling line into a statement. Fully customizable in length, light count, strip configuration, finish, and colour temperature. Modular design — shorten or extend after purchase The Rivière is built with a spliced modular structure. Individual bead sections can be removed to shorten the chain, or extension accessories can be ordered to lengthen it. Note: changing the total light count alters the load on the LED driver — significant modifications may require a driver replacement or reconfiguration. Contact our support team before modifying and we will advise on driver compatibility. Fully customizable — any length, any configuration Size, finish colour, number of light sources, and cable length can all be tailored to your project.

Yes. The Rivière uses a modular spliced construction — individual bead sections can be detached to shorten, or extension accessories ordered to lengthen. However, changing the total light count alters the LED driver load. Significant modifications may require a driver replacement or reconfiguration. Contact our support team before modifying and we will advise on driver compatibility and supply the correct parts. How do the multi-strip combinations work? Two or three strips of different lengths are installed side by side, each draping to a different depth — creating a stepped or layered arch effect more architectural than a single strand. Each strip mounts independently with its own two ceiling rosettes. Custom configurations available on request. Can I specify a completely custom length? Yes. Any length, light count, and configuration can be produced to specification. Contact our support team with your space dimensions and we will advise on the best configuration. What dimmer switch is needed for the dimmable version? A Triac (thyristor) dimmer switch rated for LED loads, purchased separately. Confirm compatibility with your electrician before installation. An incorrectly rated dimmer can cause flickering or reduce the fixture's lifespan. Is the Rivière certified for North America and Europe? Yes. It holds certifications compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia and operates on AC 110–240V worldwide. Sizing & questions Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs. Is this designed for staircases?+ Yes — the Riviere is our signature stairwell piece. Chains run from L 108.3″ (22 lights) to L 211.8″ (43 lights) and beyond, cascading through open stairwells and double-height foyers. How do I size it to my stairwell?+ Measure floor-to-ceiling at the stair opening and subtract about 6-7 ft of walking clearance at the lowest point; our atelier then builds the chain lengths to match exactly. Which finish should I choose?+ Gold & Alabaster is the warmest (real stone shades); Gold & Glass is brighter; Chrome and Black suit modern and dramatic interiors. Can I get a custom length or light count?+ Yes — every chain is made to order, from 22 to 81+ lights, sized to your exact drop. How is it installed?+ On a compact W 7.1″ ceiling canopy with professional installation recommended for tall drops.
