Known for his sculptural approach and impeccable sense of proportion, Sciolari combines architectural clarity with an almost poetic lightness in this exceptional piece.

The chandelier features six semi-transparent misty glass shades, each softly diffusing light to create a warm, enveloping glow. The glass elements are elegantly secured within delicate metal rings, a detail that highlights Sciolari’s fascination with exposed structure and precise geometry. These rings are suspended from gracefully bent metal arms that radiate from the central column, forming a harmonious, rhythmic composition that appears both balanced and dynamic.

The framework lends a subtle sense of luxury without overpowering the design, allowing the luminous glass shades to remain the visual focus. When illuminated, the chandelier offers an atmospheric yet functional light, perfectly suited for dining rooms, living spaces, or refined commercial interiors.

As a rare and highly collectible work, this chandelier exemplifies Gaetano Sciolari’s mastery of modern lighting design. It is an outstanding statement piece for discerning collectors and high-end interiors, seamlessly bridging sculptural form, technical sophistication, and timeless elegance.
