Venini lamp for BD Lumica
Venini chandelier, Italy, ca. 1970's. For BD Lumica (Barcelona).
Tears in Murano glass.
Brass structure.
Some wear on some parts of the brass frame.
Measurements: 120 cm (length); 60 cm (upper diameter).
Ceiling lamp in Murano glass carved in the form of tears that hang at different heights, drawing in the air a conical and staggered sculpture of great beauty. They hang like stalactites from a golden brass crown formed by rectangular pieces. The zenithal view offers the image of a mottled rosette that provides the visual effect of multiple bubbling drops. The Venini models refer to a chandelier typology popularized by Paolo Venini in the seventies, an important designer specialized in Murano glass, who transformed traditional chandeliers into groundbreaking games of reflections. The piece shown here, given its artistry, occupies a top position within the Venini typology.
