Metric chandelier by Gaetano Sciolari, Italy, 1970s

Metric chandelier by Gaetano Sciolari. Produced by Sciolari, Italy, 1970s. A striking example of Italian modernist lighting design. Gaetano Sciolari was one of Italy’s most influential lighting designers of the mid-century modern era. Active mainly during the 1960s and 1970s, he became internationally renowned for his luxurious chandeliers and sculptural lighting designs. With its bold geometric composition and refined architectural presence, this chandelier perfectly embodies the glamorous sophistication of Italian design from the 1970s. Crafted from beautifully polished chrome-plated steel, the design plays with symmetry, reflection, and clean linear forms to create a sculptural object that is as impressive unlit as it is illuminated. The interplay between the chrome surfaces and the geometric structure gives the chandelier a powerful yet elegant appearance, making it a true centrepiece in any interior. Featuring 10 light points, the Metric chandelier produces a warm and atmospheric glow while the chrome elements subtly reflect and amplify the light throughout the space. The result is a dynamic and luxurious lighting effect with unmistakable mid-century character. A timeless statement piece by one of Italy’s most celebrated lighting designers, sophisticated, architectural, and undeniably eye-catching.
