Style Advice from Rachel Blindauer
The Tulum Tides Chandelier is a sculptural cascade of ivory coconut shells suspended in antique brass—organic material elevated into fine form. At this scale and this price, it's a commitment. It's also the kind of piece that makes every other decision in a room easier, because everything orients around it.
I don't carry many chandeliers because most of them are easy to ignore. This one is impossible to ignore. The coconut shell construction is genuinely beautiful—each element catches light differently, creates movement, and has the kind of textural depth that photography barely captures. You have to see it in person to understand what it does to a room.
At $4,030, this is a considered investment, and I want to be direct about that: it is worth it for the right room and the right person. If you're furnishing a dining room that will anchor your home for the next decade, or a living room where you entertain and want something that starts conversations—this is the piece. It won't date. Organic materials in refined forms have been elegant for a century and they'll be elegant for another.
Product Description +
Hang it 30–36 inches above a dining table for maximum drama without obstruction. In a living room, center it over a seating arrangement with ceiling height above 9 feet—it needs room to breathe vertically. The ivory and brass palette is remarkably versatile: it works in warm neutrals, rich jewel tones, and even deeply saturated walls because the natural material acts as a quiet mediator.
Pair with chairs or seating in natural textures—linen, boucle, rattan—to reinforce the organic material story. Keep the rest of the lighting in the room simple: this is the statement, everything else should support it.
Rachel's Principle: A room needs one thing that stops you. Buy that one thing first, then build around it. This is that thing.
This is the piece you'll still love in twenty years—and the one your guests will ask about every single time.
