Italian starburst Sputnik chandelier – chrome & Murano glass

A striking Italian Sputnik chandelier, combining a bold chrome structure with an explosion of elongated glass elements in the refined style of Venini. Radiating from a central core, the composition creates a dynamic, starburst silhouette that captures light from every angle. The clear glass tubes, subtly textured and varying in length, interact beautifully with the exposed bulbs, producing a layered play of reflections and warm illumination. The contrast between the crisp chrome frame and the artisanal glass elements gives the piece both a modern edge and a distinctly Murano character. Suspended in space, the chandelier functions as both a luminous object and a sculptural centrepiece—ideal for interiors seeking a statement piece with strong architectural presence.
