About the Item

A sculptural and highly architectural ceiling light designed by Studio BBPR for Arteluce in the 1960s—this rare large-scale variant of the model 2045/D is an exceptional example of Italian postwar lighting design. Composed of 17 individual circular lights—all radiating from a central disc—the fixture forms a dynamic, constellation-like composition. Each element features a painted aluminum casing and a pressed, curved glass diffuser, which softly disperses the light while emphasizing the piece’s rhythmic geometry. The variation in size between the central and surrounding elements creates a harmonious visual cadence that feels both functional and bold in presence. Finished in original paint and retaining its Arteluce manufacturer’s decal, this pendant serves as a glowing expression of BBPR’s architectural sensibility—where structure and ornament merge in perfect balance.
