The Stanford University School of Medicine and My Blue Dots presents the Installation
of the Tre Stelle di Lapislazzuli Chandelier by artist Dale Chihuly, 2010
The three-tier chandelier is more than thirty-two feet high and twelve feet wide suspended from the ceiling of the three-story atrium of the Lorry I. Lokey Stem Cell Research Building. As the main entrance and centerpiece of the building, this area is a high-visibility space where researchers, students, and visitors from around the world will visit. The design of the atrium makes it an ideal location for this magnificence sculpture – the glass walls, windows, and balconies overlooking the atrium will provide views of the sculpture from both the inside and outside of the building.
