This sophisticated and cleanly shaped pendant chandelier dates from the 1960s in Czechoslovakia and bears the signature of the progressive production by the Drupol cooperative, which ranked among the pillars of Czechoslovak interior design during the Mid-Century era. The architectural concept of the entire fixture is built on a combination of chromed and painted steel, forming a solid central rod structure and a cross brace carrying a quartet of cylindrical opaline glass shades. This arrangement lends the object geometric dynamics, lightness, and elegance, while the milky opaline glass ensures an even distribution of soft, warm light without unpleasant glare.
