Calacatta Marble Ceiling lamp "Werner Sr." in Stock
Located in Milano, IT
I know, it's a strange title "Marble Lamp" But, I wanted it strongly, I dreamed of being able to see a piece of marble, suspended like a sculpture, and that it could secretly illuminate my work area. It wasn't easy, hiding so much light inside, to be released both above and below. Even bringing the marble to less than a centimeter/a inch was not easy, but the result is poetic, suspended, not heavy, non-invasive, and rich in details, full of depth and nuances, Structure composed of a thin square in marble, double emission of LED light, suspension with steel wires. A lamp with an essential geometry that enhances the quality of handcrafted marble and the high technology of the LED lighting system. An object that does not invade the environment but furnishes it with class, thanks also to an enveloping and discreet light that guarantees a high visual comfort. Marble "White Calacatta" White Calacatta Gold marble is a precious and refined marble, used since the Renaissance for the creation of interior furnishing projects and luxury objects. The indisputable beauty of this precious stone makes it one of the most used marbles for its scenographic effect, ideal for works in precious marble. The peculiarities of Calacatta Gold are the crystalline white background with elegant yellow-gold veins, characteristics that make this precious marble a suitable material for the realization of projects such as marble stairs, fireplaces, marble coverings...

Antique, Vintage and Contemporary Chandeliers and Pendant Lights

Chandeliers — simple in form, inspired by candelabras and originally made of wood or iron — first made an appearance in early churches. For those wealthy enough to afford them for their homes in the medieval period, a chandelier's suspended lights likely exuded imminent danger, as lit candles served as the light source for fixtures of the era. Things have thankfully changed since then, and antique and vintage chandeliers and pendant lights are popular in many interiors today.

While gas lighting during the late 18th century represented an upgrade for chandeliers — and gas lamps would long inspire Danish architect and pioneering modernist lighting designer Poul Henningsen — it would eventually be replaced with the familiar electric lighting of today.

The key difference between a pendant light and a chandelier is that a pendant incorporates only a single bulb into its design. Don’t mistake this for simplicity, however. An Art Deco–styled homage to Sputnik from Murano glass artisans Giovanni Dalla Fina (note: there is more than one lighting fixture that shares its name with the iconic mid-century-era satellite — see Gino Sarfatti’s design too), with handcrafted decorative elements supported by a chrome frame, is just one stunning example of the elaborate engineering that can be incorporated into every component of a chandelier.

Chandeliers have evolved over time, but their classic elegance has remained unchanged. Not only will the right chandelier prove impressive in a given room, but it can also offer a certain sense of practicality. These fixtures can easily illuminate an entire space, while their elevated position prevents them from creating glare or straining one’s eyes. Certain materials, like glass, can complement naturally lit settings without stealing the show. Brass, on the other hand, can introduce an alluring, warm glow. While LEDs have earned a bad reputation for their perceived harsh bluish lights and a loss of brightness over their life span, the right design choices can help harness their lighting potential and create the perfect mood. A careful approach to lighting can transform your room into a peaceful and cozy nook, ideal for napping, reading or working.

For midsize spaces, a wall light or sconce can pull the room together and get the lighting job done. Perforated steel rings underneath five bands of handspun aluminum support a rich diffusion of light within Alvar Aalto's Beehive pendant light, but if you’re looking to brighten a more modest room, perhaps a minimalist solution is what you’re after. The mid-century modern furniture designer Charlotte Perriand devised her CP-1 wall lamps in the 1960s, in which a repositioning of sheet-metal plates can redirect light as needed.

The versatility and variability of these lighting staples mean that, when it comes to finding something like the perfect chandelier, you’ll never be left hanging. From the whimsical — like the work of Beau & Bien’s Sylvie Maréchal, frequently inspired by her dreams — to the classic beauty of Paul Ferrante's fixtures, there is a style for every room. With designs for pendant lights and chandeliers across eras, colors and materials, you’ll never run out of options to explore on 1stDibs.
