About the Item

Magnificent iconic Mid-Century chandelier. For modern and eclectic homes. Would also be stunning in public places. The gray and clear color combination fits the color trends for home furnishing. Poliedri or polyhedral chandelier. Very interesting find. Murano made with two colors gray taupe and clear. There are more than 200 glass pieces, that are connected together to completely diffuse the light and cover the hardware. Uses six bulbs standard. Can be rewired to meet customer's country requirements. Evaluation assessment: By complexity of manufacturing and quality of both hardware and glass. Identifications, references: Unknown origin. The situation on the poliedri and Carlo Scarpa is a bit complex. It's commonly described as 1958 or 1961 design from Carlo Scarpa for Venini. The discussion among experts is that Carlo Scarpa left Venini in 1947. After that date, he worked with Venini on projects as independent architect, as a customer and not as a designer. The use of multiple single elements (poliedri, tirdri and many others) is considered a Ludovico de Santillana concept or late Paolo Venini. In 1961 Italy celebrated in Turin 100 years as Turin was the first capital of Italy. Here Carlo Scarpa made an immense installation (caminetto) for the Veneto Pavillion using Venini's Poliedri. Here the association Carlo Scarpa, Poliedri and Venini was set. Actually Paolo Venini in 1958 made a poliedri installation at the Brusselles show. In the same years the foyer of the Comunale of my town. Poliedri were made by many companies in different shapes and with the same use. All said there is such a market association of the name that I am leaving a fair design attribution to Carlo Scarpa and in the style of Venini in order to facilitate the customer's research of this chandelier.
