Vistosi
Demonstrative of a unique marriage between artistry and technical excellence, Vistosi lighting fixtures were born from a rich Italian glassmaking tradition. The prolific glass manufacturer came to prominence after World War II for its modernist lighting designs, and today Vistosi is known for opulent chandeliers, lamps and sconces.
The history of Vistosi reaches as far back as 1640, when the Gazzabin family of Murano opened a furnace for producing Murano glass art. "Vistoso," which was originally a nickname, became part of the family's surname and eventually the name “Vistosi” was used to refer to the family’s glass creations.
Vistosi would be recognized by the glassmakers’ guild in Murano during the late 18th century — with Gio-Batta Vistosi becoming head of the guild — but Napoleon dissolved the Venetian state and closed the region’s glass factories by 1807. The modern iteration of the Vistosi company was founded in Murano in 1945 by Guglielmo Vistosi, a Gazzabin family heir.
During the 1950s, Vistosi's grandchildren, Gino and Luciano Vistosi, began specializing in lighting. In the 1960s and ‘70s, the company worked with renowned Italian furniture designers like Adalberto Dal Lago, Ettore Sottsass and Gae Aulenti. One of Vistosi's most famous collaborations was with Italian architect and designer Angelo Mangiarotti. In 1967, Mangiarotti designed a modular crystal-hook lighting system called Giogali that has enjoyed popularity and acclaim to this day.
In 1989, Vistosi was taken over by businessman Giancarlo Moretti, who had an extensive background in the lighting industry. Moretti's son, Matteo Moretti, reinvigorated the business with a series of new design collaborations in 1993. Some of the most notable partnerships included Chiaramonte and Marin, Mauro Olivieri and Michele De Lucchi.
Vistosi has participated in every Euroluce showcase since the lighting exhibition began in 1976. In 2005, the company won the ADI Design Index award for Mangiarotti's Giogali system. In 2007, Vistosi won the Eurispes award and participated in a Compasso d'Oro competition.
Today, Vistosi is still a leader in the lighting industry, shifting to LED and creating new types of lead-free crystal glass for its stunning range of lighting fixtures.

- Large and Striking, Midcentury Crackled Amber Glass in Iron Frame Pendant LightLocated in Lisse, NLOrganically design wrought iron and glass light fixture from the mid-century era. This fine quality workmanship pendant from mid-20th century is another one of our recent great finds. With 20th century lighting being one of our specialties we are always looking to find unique fixtures that we have never seen before. This all-handcrafted specimen from the 1960 perfectly fits that bill. The designer of this rare light must have been inspired by the flowing elements in nature when coming into contact with a round shape. The way in which the handforged wrought iron is 'flowing' around the glass sphere is exactly like water or perhaps the wind would 'behave'. It is this contrasting motion for a material as hard as wrought iron that makes this light extra special to own and look at. The equally stylish and crackled glass globe emphasizes the organic design of this unique fixture and it causes this pendant to radiate a warm light that is ideal for an entrance, a landing or a relaxing area in your living room. Wherever you decide to use it, this light brings class and elegance into your home like no modern light fixture ever could. Mind you, this light art work...Category
