There’s a moment every host loves.
The table is set, the glasses catch the light, and the room suddenly feels softer, warmer—almost like someone turned up the magic. That is the moment we designed the Valrosa Chandelier for: when everyday dinners turn into little celebrations, and special occasions feel like they belong in a painting.
Hanging above the table, Valrosa looks like a blooming rose vine captured mid-climb: golden branches, sculpted leaves, and soft pink roses wrapping gently around candle-like lights. In this blog, we’d love to take you behind the scenes and show you how this chandelier came to life—from the very first sketch to the final glow.
The idea for Valrosa started in the most ordinary way: with a tired bouquet in our studio kitchen.
A few days after a photo shoot, the roses we’d used on set were sitting in a vase by the window. They were past their prime, petals soft and turned slightly downward, but the color had deepened into a beautiful dusty pink. Early light from the window hit the flowers, and one of our designers paused on his way to make coffee.
He moved the vase under the pendant light and snapped a quick photo on his phone. Lit from above, the roses looked calm, full, and a little nostalgic.
That’s when the thought came:
“Our flowers fade in a week, but our lights stay for years.
What if we could keep this exact feeling and build it into a chandelier?”
He went back to his desk, opened his sketchbook, and drew a simple ring of branches with roses circling a warm center of light. Nothing dramatic, just an honest attempt to capture that quiet moment in the kitchen.
That rough sketch became the first draft of the Valrosa Chandelier.
To translate that quiet moment into a clearer visual direction, we built a simple moodboard of roses, warm light, and our key colors.
Every chandelier begins with a single line on paper.
The first sketch of Valrosa showed a central stem with roses climbing around it, like a vine reaching toward the light. When the team gathered around the sketchbook, the reaction was clear:
“Beautiful—but we need more light over the table.”
So we opened the silhouette into a ring of branches instead of a single vertical stem. That way, the chandelier could:
We went through several rounds of drawing:
Each revision brought the chandelier closer to its final personality: floral and romantic, but still clear and structured enough for everyday use.
Valrosa needed to feel like a bouquet that never wilts—but also like a piece of jewelry for the room.
We chose a warm antique gold finish for the branches and leaves. It’s not a sharp, mirror-like gold; it’s soft and slightly aged, similar to the tone you see on old picture frames or vintage door handles. Under warm light, it glows rather than shines harshly.
For the roses, our color tests took several days. On the studio table we had:
In the end, we landed on a soft petal-pink palette with a warm rose undertone. It’s gentle enough to work with white or cream walls, but it still has enough color to stand out in photos and in real life. When the light is on, the petals pick up subtle highlights along their curled edges, giving the chandelier a quiet movement even when everything is still.
The combination of antique gold metal and softly tinted roses gives Valrosa a look that feels both nostalgic and modern—romantic, but not overly sweet.
After the sketch was approved, we moved to the 3D stage.
Using the drawing as a guide, our team built a digital model of Valrosa and placed it above a virtual dining table. This allowed us to test:
We rotated the model to simulate different viewpoints: someone entering the room, someone sitting at the head of the table, a guest sitting to the side. From every angle, we wanted to see:
Only after this digital testing looked right did we move on to building the physical prototype.
The real personality of Valrosa comes from the work done in the workshop.
Shaping the Branches
Metal rods are cut, bent, and welded by hand into organic curves. The goal isn’t perfect symmetry; it’s to mimic the way real vines twist and overlap. Each arm is slightly different, so the piece never looks factory-flat.
Sculpting the Roses
Each rose starts as soft ceramic clay. Petals are formed one by one, gently thinned, curved, and layered by hand until they resemble a rose just past full bloom—open enough to feel generous, but not falling apart. After drying, the blooms are kiln-fired to fix their shape, so every rose keeps its delicate curves for years. Because this process is done entirely by hand, no two ceramic roses are exactly the same, which keeps the chandelier from feeling alive rather than factory-perfect.
Painting & Finishing
The metal branches and leaves receive their antique gold finish in several steps, creating depth rather than a single flat color. The ceramic roses are then hand-painted in layered pink and fired again or sealed, so the colors stay soft yet durable while maintaining a gentle, matte surface.
Testing the Light
With candle-style bulbs installed, we test Valrosa in a real room—not just a laboratory setting. We check how it feels at different heights, how it photographs, and how the light falls on a set table. Our priority is always the same: beautiful first impression, comfortable long-term use.
A design story isn’t complete until the piece finds its place in everyday life. When we created Valrosa, these scenes were always in our minds:
Scene 1 – The Dining Room Garden
A simple white tablecloth, everyday plates, a small fresh bouquet, and Valrosa hanging just above eye level. The candle-like bulbs cast a warm halo across the table, and the roses overhead echo the flowers below. It turns a regular weeknight dinner into something a little more special, without feeling formal.
Scene 2 – A Soft Bedroom Glow
In a bedroom with creamy walls and linen bedding, Valrosa hangs above a reading chair or near a dressing area. At a lower dimmer setting, the roses pick up just enough light to outline their shape, giving the room a calm, romantic glow.
Scene 3 – Boutique Highlight
In a bridal studio, flower shop, or small boutique, Valrosa becomes the detail customers remember. It frames dresses, arrangements, or displays like a floating floral sculpture, helping define the brand mood the moment someone walks in.
Behind the soft, romantic look, we paid careful attention to practical use:
This chandelier grew out of a simple real studio moment: a fading bouquet under warm light, turned into something you can live with every day. If you’d like to bring that same rose-lit glow into your home, our Christmas event makes it easier — all DOCOS lighting, including the Valrosa Chandelier, is now 15% off across the site.
