Large Sputnik chandelier Space Age by Reggiani, Italy, to

Spectacular large Italian Space Age chandelier, designed by Goffredo Reggiani, made of chrome metal and featuring an imposing radiant structure around a central axis. The chandelier has 24 arms arranged in a star shape: 12 hold the light sources while 12 end in chrome spheres. This particularly generous radial composition gives it a spectacular silhouette, evoking the space universe and the Atomic Age aesthetic of the 1970s. The construction, the play of repetition of the chrome elements, and the perfectly symmetrical balance of the whole make it a true sculptural object, equally remarkable when off as when lit. This Sputnik typology is documented in Goffredo Reggiani's production, with comparable examples referenced at 20 lights. The present model stands out for its configuration of 12 lights and 12 arms with spheres, offering a particularly graphic and sculptural presence. A rare and spectacular Italian piece, ideal as a focal point in a contemporary, Mid-Century, or eclectic interior. Period: 1970s. Country: Italy. Designer: Goffredo Reggiani, attributed. Style: Space Age, Atomic Age. Materials: chrome metal. Lighting: 12 lights. Structure: 24 arms, 12 of which end in chrome spheres.
