painted metal structure, transparent blown glass, each wall light is made up of 48 polyhedrons, excellent condition, new electrical system compliant with the law, each wall light mounts up to 8 light bulbs.
the polyhedrons were proposed for the first time as compositional elements of the large venini chandelier, designed by ignazio gardella, paolo venini and enrico peresutti, presented at the brussels expo in 1958, located in the central hall of the italian pavilion.
with this module the famous cascade chandelier proposed at the turin expo "italia '61" by venini with carlo scarpa was created.
these blown glass elements allow you to create lighting systems of ever-changing shapes and sizes.
chandelier, spherical in shape, composed of poliedri elements, made of blown crystal glass and arranged on several levels.
having graduated from the academy of fine arts in venice, here he dedicated himself to university teaching which he continued in various positions until 1977.
carlo scapra established himself after the second world war thanks to important installations, particularly in venice: the paul klee exhibition for the xxiv biennale, the art book pavilion of 1950 and the italian pavilion at the xxvi biennale.
in 1932 he began working with venini, becoming its artistic director until 1946. A long period during which he left an indelible mark on the world of the furnace, for the design of models that have gone down in history and for the research of the most refined techniques.
