There are Sputnik chandeliers designed to inhabit a space with quiet elegance. And then there are pieces like this one — with a diameter of over 41 inches and 51 hand-blown Murano glass tips — that choose monumental presence as their design statement. A piece that does not simply occupy the room: it defines it.

Hand-blown Murano glass, worked according to traditional technique, is the undisputed protagonist. Each tip is crafted individually by maestri vetrai, using the traditional method that produces that surface quality and visual lightness impossible to replicate industrially. Fifty-one clear presences that, once lit, multiply and diffuse light with the optical precision particular to high-quality hand-blown glass.

The brass frame is what distinguishes this piece within the Sputnik series: compared to cool nickel or graphic black metal, brass brings a warm and precious note that converses with the transparency of the glass without overpowering it, adding material depth to the composition. A combination that recalls the spirit of Italian design in the late-XX-century style, and that continues to work with equal ease in contemporary interiors.

For its dimensions — among the most generous in the entire series — this chandelier calls for rooms with high ceilings and open volumes where the radial arrangement of tips can fully unfold without compression. In those conditions, it becomes the natural focal point of the entire space.

Note: every hand-blown glass tip carries subtle natural variations in form and surface. This uniqueness is the authentic signature of Venetian artisan craftsmanship, making each piece truly one of a kind.
