If you’ve spent days, months, years sitting around wishing, dreaming, hoping for a chandelier made of lingerie, you, my friend, are in luck. Check out this pantychandelier currently on view at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City. Hot or not? Apartment Therapy wonders. Hard to say. In the comments, people can’t make up their minds if they love it or hate it. “A naked bulb would be a lot sexier than this.” “[T]hat is completely ridiculous. tasteless. looks like someone just threw their underwear up onto the chandelier ...” “I get this already since my neighbor hangs all her bras and lingerie on the drapery rod in her dining room which is across from my dining room window. I can tell you it isn’t something you really want to see while eating.” Personally, I think it’s kind of awesome, in a strange sort of way. It’s sort of like if Dita von Teese exploded, and this is all that was left of her, her lingerie hanging from the light fixture. So, what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Or don’t know what to make of it? [Apartment Therapy]

First glance, I hated it. But, after looking at it again, I think I could design a pretty sweet dressing area/closet around that sucker.
I would, however, remove those crappy plastic beads and opt for some much more tasteful strands of crystals.

I find it hideous and extremely tacky. Ew.

I’m thinking it is going to be dark….like when you throw a red scarf on a lamp for mood lighting…..the black panties will obscure whatever light this gives off. The bulbs aren’t that big, so not much is given off to begin with, and it would be rendered completely useless.

It’s not bad, but last year a classmate of mine made a lamp out of a corset. And that thing was easily the greatest lamp I have ever seen.
If I hadn’t seen the corset-lamp, maybe I would like the Panty-chandelier better.

This reminds me of a BF who delighted in throwing my knickers up into light fittings where I couldn’t reach them.
Maybe more sophisticated lingerie would make better chandeleirs - imagine bright red sating corsets dangling down.

I love it! Definitely want.
Not something for the dining room though, definitely the bedroom- can you imagine the look on your mothers face if she came to visit?
