AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Orbital Geometry: A five-armed structure in polished chrome steel with perfectly cylindrical joints. Each light source is positioned like a planet around its central nucleus.
Each lampshade of this chandelier is a living work of art, hand-blown individually:
Linear Inclusion Technique: During the blowing process, the master glassmaker inserts a strip of amber glass into the rotating transparent crystal. The strip is incorporated while it is still hot, sliding vertically along the bell-shaped body.
When the lamp is lit, the light passes through the amber strip, projecting a warm and enveloping refraction into the environment. The effect triggers an immediate neuroesthetic reaction: the brain perceives the contrast between the rigidity of chrome and the visual softness of molten glass, transforming the illumination into a multisensory experience.
Period: About 1968–1975
Style: Space Age / mid-century Italian Modernism
Structure: Polished chrome steel with 5 orbital arms
Diffusers: 5 hand-blown Murano glass bells
Glass technique: Transparent glass with a vertical amber band incorporated during the blowing process
Unique feature: Hand-finished wavy lower edge (no two pieces are identical)
Specifications: E27 socket, 5 lights, functional with intact glass.
