Brutalist modernist chandelier with four peaks in hammered metal 1960-1970

Modernist chandelier with four arms featuring a geometric construction in blackened hammered metal. The composition rests on a cross structure with taut, asymmetrical lines, punctuated by circular cups for candle spikes. The overall design develops an architectural silhouette reminiscent of European brutalist productions from the 1960s-1970s. The visible hammering work across the surface enhances the sculptural aspect of the object and creates interesting variations in light depending on the angle of observation. The central chrome sphere provides a visual contrast typical of modernist explorations blending brutalist and space age influences. With its elongated proportions, this chandelier can be used as a centrepiece, console object, or sculptural decorative element in a modernist, minimalist, or brutalist interior.
