This working Space Age chandelier from 1970–1980 has a chrome-plated metal frame, 16 textured glass shades and measures 80 × 80 × 30 cm.
Description from the seller
Exceptional 16-light Space Age chandelier from the 1970s.
This impressive vintage chandelier embodies the distinctive design language of 1970s Space Age design.
The light features a finely crafted chrome-plated metal frame with radially arranged arms and a total of 16 cylindrical glass shades made of heavy, clear textured glass.
The light fixtures are arranged in pairs, facing upward and downward. This unusual construction gives the chandelier its striking, sculptural appearance.
The geometrically textured glass creates interesting light refraction and casts a warm, atmospheric glow when illuminated.
The combination of gleaming chrome, clear pressed glass, and symmetrical design is characteristic of the futuristically inspired lighting design of the 1970s.
With its generous diameter of approximately 80 cm, the chandelier is particularly well suited to living and dining areas, spacious entrance halls, and sophisticated mid-century and vintage interiors.
