There are Sputnik chandeliers that rely on the rigor of a single color. And then there are pieces that introduce color with exactly the right measure — not to fill the composition, but to add depth. This chandelier is one of those pieces: fifty-one hand-blown Murano glass tips, clear and amethyst, radiate from a brass frame, forming a monumental silhouette where the dialogue between pure light and precious color becomes the very heart of the design.

Hand-blown Murano glass, worked according to traditional technique, is the undisputed protagonist. Each tip is crafted individually by maestri vetrai, using the traditional method that produces that surface quality and visual lightness impossible to replicate industrially. The alternation between clear glass — which catches and multiplies light — and amethyst glass — which filters it, casting a deep and shifting violet — creates a visual rhythm of great elegance. An effect that changes character with the intensity of the light source: warmer and more enveloping in soft light, more crystalline and brilliant in full illumination. See less
