model 10785 a is an elegant expression of notini’s approach to lighting, where the fixture itself becomes a sculptural element within the interior. The chandelier is executed in patinated metal and constructed around a slender central stem, from which five gracefully curved arms extend outward.

the dark patinated surface gives the metalwork depth and character, while the pleated textile shades provide a softer contrast. When illuminated, the shades filter the light into a warm and intimate glow, highlighting portions of the metal structure while allowing others to remain in shadow. The result is a particularly atmospheric quality of light.

the chandelier reflects this balance beautifully. Its sweeping arms and subtle decorative details give the piece movement and presence without becoming overly elaborate. The proportions remain controlled and architectural, allowing the chandelier to work equally well as a functional source of light and as a decorative object within a room.

a fine example of swedish lighting design, combining patinated metal, textile and warm filtered light in a composition characteristic of harald notini’s work for böhlmarks. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
