The design incorporates pencil-shaped glass elements arranged to form a compact barrier, concealing the hardware and offering a seamless glass view. The concave sides of each prism act as a magnifying lens, effectively hiding the hardware and creating the appearance of floating glass elements.

Technically, I used light dispersion through refraction rather than the traditional diffraction method. This approach allowed me to avoid the rough or hammered texture typically seen in multiple blown glass elements, resulting in smooth, clean surfaces with crisp edges. This unique technique sets my design apart.

Created by Silvio Piattelli in 2021, this chandelier presents a modern approach to multi-glass fixtures. The hardware is finished in warm brass, with glass elements secured by solid brass fittings.

The chandelier can be installed with a hardwired stem for flush mounting or with an optional chain for high ceilings.

The showcased version features light a special Amethyst glass, not the classical purple deep but a warm Antique Rose color that makes it unique. Other colors are available, including options for transparent elements for increased brightness or taupe for a dramatic effect.
See the Compact version for color combinations.

with a capacity for 12 bulbs, each up to 60W, the chandelier delivers 8000 lumens, suitable for both bright and subdued lighting needs.
The Prismatico chandelier is offered in various sizes to suit different spaces.
