Story
A chandelier, drawn in blue.
For the 160th anniversary of The Ritz-Carlton Geneva, Mauro Carraro made a large live drawing of the hotel’s chandelier in blue ink and gold leaf.
The work held the architecture of the room inside a hand-made gesture: light, line and gold gathered at the scale of the chandelier itself.
