Jihan Machuca

Artist & Creator

Welcome. My name is Jihan Machuca, and I created The Chandefleur while struggling with a newborn, Post-partum Depression and insomnia. Being creative helped me express my sorrows. That may sound depressing or sad, but it's true. There is so much you never learn from others.

There is so much about motherhood and entrepreneurship that just goes unsaid. But I've always leaned on my creative spirit in hard times, and The Chandefleur was a literal light in my darkness.

I hope to reopen this book again and write a new chapter. To allow myself to create from joy and flow. For the sake of creating. Because I'm an artist and my mothering spirit wants to bring my designs and ideas up in the world.

Thank you for stopping by. ✨️

The Chandefleur

Filling the Market Gap in IoT Lighting

So much of the smart lighting market was catering to individuals with masculine or minimalist taste. There weren't many smart lighting options for those who love glamorous maxamalist designs.

I love tech gadgets but I also love glamorous crystal chandeliers and floral decor. It was important to me to create a style of lighting unlike anything on the market. After two years of planning, we launched in 2018. We made onto Wayfair and have been invited to joing many wholesale markets since.

Due to covid, we put it on pause in 2020 and haven't fully realized The Chandefleur 2.0. We look forward to creating this next chapter someday soon. Thank you for your support and interest in our brand.
