This spectacular chandelier features an abundance of individually crafted, clear Murano glass tubes, commonly known as Tronchi, arranged in multiple cascading tiers to create a magnificent sculptural silhouette.

Each cylindrical glass element features a richly textured, irregular surface resembling flowing water or ice. The combination of these individually textured glass tubes creates a beautiful interplay of light, transparency and reflection.

The glass elements are suspended from an original white-painted metal framework, with a chrome ceiling canopy and metal suspension chain. The cascading arrangement gives the chandelier an impressive architectural presence, even when unlit.

Its substantial proportions and striking sculptural design make this chandelier an exceptional statement piece for a grand entrance hall, spacious living room, luxury hotel or contemporary interior.
