producted by esperia An elegant and intellectually rigorous Italian pendant light designed by Angelo Brotto, one of the most refined protagonists of post-war Italian design, and produced by Esperia, a historic lighting manufacturer renowned for its collaboration with leading architects and designers. The lamp features a generously proportioned acid-etched Murano glass diffuser, characterised by deep vertical ribbing that lends both tactile presence and optical softness. The glass surface diffuses light with a muted, atmospheric glow, achieving a balance between sculptural clarity and functional restraint. The diffuser is elegantly embraced by a brass structural cage, whose slender vertical elements articulate the form without overpowering it—an unmistakable Brotto signature, where structure and decoration are inseparable. The suspension chain and ceiling canopy, executed in matching metal, complete the composition with sober coherence. This model exemplifies Brotto’s mature language of the late 1950s and early 1960s: rational yet lyrical, modern yet rooted in Venetian glassmaking tradition
