One of the most popular build-your-own toys on earth is, and has been for years and years, Lego. Here at Yanko Design we’ve mentioned Lego a few times, but not any time recently have we had a post about something made almost exclusively OUT OF legos. Astounding! This lovely chandelier breaks that trend with incredible classiness for a kids toy made of plastic.
This particular piece was made to appear at home in a Victorian-era building, yet give the “youth and vigor” of a contemporary clientele. What better way than with Lego?
Next time I suggest molding a chandelier out of candy. I’ve seen it done! One time a local band named Brother and Sister had a guitar molded out of hard sugar candy. Each time “Brother” played a solo, he encouraged people to come up and take a taste of the wicked rock and roll!

I love how 8-bit it looks… If only the bulbs were LEDS with clear bricks surrounding them…
Is it glued together? It doesn’t seem like the thin chain part would be able to support the weight without the bricks coming apart otherwise.
I immediately thought of Castlevania. I sure wouldn’t mind a whole line of 8-bit looking furnishings made from legos.
YAAAAAA castlevania. also yes, i’d live in a house like that too.
