Its spherical structure, animated by a multitude of chrome-plated extensions resembling star-like branches, evokes the moment dandelion seeds are blown into the wind. At its core, the polished metal nucleus reflects both light and its surroundings, while eleven integrated light sources provide a diffused and enveloping glow. The chrome finish adds brightness and visual lightness, while the curved details echo the pioneering spirit of space-age design. Though unmarked, the model is unmistakably recognizable and attributed to Sciolari’s original production, as confirmed by many authoritative sources and identical models found on the international vintage market. Designed for standout interiors, this chandelier is more than just a source of light—it is a suspended work of art, capable of radically transforming the style of an entryway, living room, or contemporary public space.
