There are chandeliers that light a room. And then there are pieces that transform it into an unrepeatable visual experience.

This Murano glass chandelier with 391 triedri prisms belongs to the second category,without question.

The composition

391 handblown glass elements. This is not an arbitrary number: it is the result of precise artisanal calculation, designed to achieve the right visual mass, the perfect optical density, and the interplay of light that only a piece of this scale can generate. The triedri; three-sided prisms, a geometric form central to post-war Venetian design are arranged in two distinct sizes: 120 elements at 28 cm (11 in) and 271 elements at 10 cm (3.95 in). This dimensional variation is not decorative: it creates genuine depth, movement, and a visual rhythm that shifts from every angle of observation.

The material

Murano glass is not a material. It is a language. Each triedro is mouth-blown by master glassmakers on the island of Murano, using techniques handed down through generations of Venetian fornaci. The amber tone; warm, transparent, with an inner luminosity that industrial production cannot replicate is achieved through the precise calibration of pigments in the molten glass. No two elements are identical. This subtle variation is not a flaw: it is the signature of authentic craftsmanship.

Structure and style

The polished chrome frame echoes the aesthetic of Italian Mid-Century Modern design of the 1950s and 1960s , that golden era when designers such as Toni Zuccheri, Giò Ponti, and the masters of Mazzega and Vistosi were redefining the boundary between functional object and luminous sculpture. The cascading silhouette — compact in height (15.75 in / 40 cm without chain) yet generous in diameter (35.45 in / 90 cm) — creates a horizontal architectural presence: it commands the space without dominating it vertically. The result is a rare visual equilibrium that reads equally well in contemporary settings and in classic formal interiors.

Dimensions and installation

Total height with chain is 47.25 in (120 cm), with adjustment possible at installation. The 35.45 in (90 cm) diameter calls for adequate clearance: ideal above dining tables of at least 59 in (150 cm), in entrance halls, or in living rooms with a well-defined seating area. Nine E27 fittings provide generous light output, compatible with high-CRI LED bulbs to enhance the transparency and warmth of the amber glass.

Note: as with all handblown glass pieces, slight variations in glass tone and in the form of individual triedri elements are to be regarded as an expression of authentic craftsmanship, not imperfections. Each piece is, by definition, unique.
