Those talks of collaboration? Beaker and Martha Stewart have finally hooked it up. Test Tube chandeliers satisfy the overhead lighting needs of science geeks and prima donnas alike with their authentic glass chem lab cylinders hanging from slotted plywood rings all Art-Deco-style in a tidy double row.

Chandeliers arrive with 96 detachable test tubes for users to experiment with arranging and filling. They measure 43.3" high and have an 18.5" diameter.
