AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An iconic piece of the Space Age design era (1960s and 70s). The style is characterized by futuristic shapes, often reminiscent of spaceships or atomic models, and the combination of modern materials, chrome-plated metal and glass.
Based on international literature and available catalogs, this particular model is listed as being made by the Czechoslovakian Lustry n.p. Kamenický Šenov. It is associated with the work of Czech designer Jaroslav Bejvl, who created many similar "Sputnik" and ball chandeliers in the era
High-gloss, polished chrome-plated metal frame, characterized by the design of symmetrical arms branching from the central rod. The lamp has 5 bulbs.
The most unique elements of the lamp are the cracked glass balls. This texture is achieved by suddenly dipping hot glass into cold water, causing tiny cracks in the surface, then reheating the glass to maintain its structural integrity. This surface refracts light, creating a soft, shimmering glow. Flawless, perfect, original condition. The chrome parts are beautiful. A heavy, serious piece! Fits any interior! I recommend it!
Total height: 70 cm.
Diameter: 50 cm.
Shade size: 16 cm.
Secure packaging with tracking courier.
