A bronze tripod chandelier with three pivoting arms, attributed to the german designer michael harjes. The structure rests on a sculptural base with three supports, each arm mounted on an axis articulated around the central core, allowing for various spatial configurations.
the surface displays a deep golden-brown patina, typical of german brutalist productions of the early 1960s. A sculptural object straddling the line between functional design and decorative art. An antique piece, with original casting and patina.
