NimbusHere is a fabulous explanation on how to create a fractal chandelier like the one above. It has been featured everywhere else in the blogosphere, but we all know that doesn't mean everyone has seen it yet. This particular one, the Nimbus, and its tutorial were created by Sean Michael Ragan.
I highlighted the word particular because there has been a lot of debate on the origin of this design. There are so many commercial versions of this around now, but this article points to perhaps, Irving Harper, a designer for George Nelson, being the earliest known user of this concept.
This is the Harper design seen in his home in the 2001 Metropolis article.
