Visual Comfort Baku 73 Chandelier | Sean Lavin | Sculptural Arch | Black or Brass

The Baku 73 Chandelier is Sean Lavin's largest single-arch sculpture in the Baku series — a 73-inch form that commands high-ceiling spaces the way a traditional chandelier does, but without any of its visual weight or period associations. The arch sweeps from ceiling to its lowest point in a single continuous curve, housing its 35W 2700K dedicated LED module at the inner apex. The result is a fixture that contributes to a room the way a large-scale sculptural object does: as a presence, a gesture, a defining element of the ceiling plane.

Like every Baku, the 73 ships with Visual Comfort's patented adjustable-height junction box and is engineered to be installed individually or combined with other Baku arches in custom groupings. The power feed runs through the vertical arm; the curved arm connects to the ceiling via a simple mounting bracket. At 73 inches, this is the statement piece of the family — scaled for double-height foyers, hotel lobbies, stairwells, and rooms with 12-foot-plus ceilings where smaller fixtures disappear. Available in Nightshade Black and Antique Brass.

Why It Works in Your Space
The Baku 73 is not a chandelier in the conventional sense — it does not fill space, it draws a line through it. Its extreme vertical proportion and slim 1.3-inch width mean it reads against the ceiling as a mark rather than a mass, which paradoxically lets it occupy the full volume of a large room without overpowering it. It is equally powerful alone as the single defining fixture of a double-height foyer, and in combination with smaller Baku arches in a multi-unit grouping where it provides the tallest visual anchor point. The Antique Brass patinas over time; the Nightshade Black stays sharp against any ceiling tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What ceiling height does the Baku 73 require?
A: The Baku 73 is best suited to ceilings of 12 feet and above. In a 10-foot ceiling, the 73-inch arc would hang very close to head height, which is not ideal. For 9–11 foot ceilings, the Baku 37 or 49 are better proportioned choices.

Q: Can the Baku 73 be combined with smaller Baku arches in a single installation?
A: Yes — this is the core logic of the Baku system. Multiple arches of any size can be installed from a shared ceiling area in custom configurations. The 73 functions as the tallest anchor element in a multi-arch grouping.

Q: How does the power work — does the full arch have wiring?
A: Power runs through the vertical arm only. The curved arch attaches to the ceiling on its opposite end via a simple mounting bracket. There is one junction box per fixture — the second ceiling connection is structural support only.

Q: How heavy is the Baku 73 and what ceiling support is needed?
A: Consult your electrician for ceiling weight ratings before installation, as large sculptural arches have specific mounting requirements based on the canopy configuration.
