New York-based artist Kevin Champeny has designed a what are being dubbed "Candeliers" from acrylic gummy bears strung onto see-through wires (don't get your hopes up, it's non-edible).

The Candeliers are available for purchase, in two sizes, from the gummy-centric home furnishing company Jellio. But don't promise it to your Secret Santa just yet: The 18" diameter version is selling for $2,400, while the larger 31" version goes for a whopping $6,500.00. 

An epic sugar rush awaits both kids and grown-ups at the Jellio Sweet Shop, a two-day furnishings pop-up at Property in Soho (May 18 and 19, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; 14 Wooster St., nr. Canal St.; 917-237-0123). Co-owner Mario Marsicano and the rest of the Jellio team mine their childhood memories when brainstorming designs for their whimsical line of rubber-molded cupcake seats ($900), foam-and-velvet benches shaped like ice-cream sandwiches ($900), and four-foot-tall plastic gummy bears ($1,600). The quirky pieces are made and housed in the eight-year-old company’s Bronxville studio, but this weekend only, adventurous decorators can peruse the merch in person, along with a selection of candy-themed artwork by Jellio manufacturer Kevin Champeny.
