Borgia brass chandelier, Carla Baz Borgia large: 35 x 17.5 x 17.5 cm Smaller versions: 35 x 11 x 11 cm Materials: Brushed and polished brass. The Borgia chandelier series is named after the illustrious family that exerted great influence during the Renaissance and the beginning of the Age of Discovery. This was the era of magnificence when many artists, writers and rulers influenced and predefined the modern age. Hand crafted in solid brass, this distinctive piece comes in two different sizes and symbolizes the bridge between ancient decadence and modern purity. Holding long candles, it conveys exuberance while the crisp lines and bare material give it a holistic uniqueness. Carla Baz is a French-Lebanese designer dedicated to foster synergies between her innovative approach to furniture/lighting and the very accomplished skills of Lebanese artisans. After studying interior architecture at ESAG Penninghen in Paris, she pursued a Masters in product design for the luxury industry at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL) where she had the opportunity to work on several projects under the supervision of international designers such as Ronan Bouroullec, BarberOsgerby, Marti Guixé, Pierre Charpin and Umberto and Fernando Campana. She then engaged in diverse professional experiences, working in London for Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid until she felt it was time to explore her own lines. Thus began a very inspiring sequence of experiments which resulted in small editions of her sculptural and functional furniture and earned her the Brussels based Boghossian Fondation’s 2013 Design Prize. All her projects are rooted in that elaborate relationship where innovative ideas meet noble materials that are worked by hand. Within that journey to their process, unique and elegant products are born that hold their place in our landscape. Carla has recently been awarded the 'Rising Talent' award at Maison & Objet’s 2018 September edition. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
