Vintage Italian Clear Poliedri Chandelier by Carlo Scarpa for Venini, c.1960s

An exceptional vintage Italian Poliedri chandelier designed by Carlo Scarpa for Venini, composed of hand-blown clear Murano glass elements arranged in a dense, sculptural formation.
Each individual poliedri is meticulously formed, featuring crisp faceted geometry with subtle internal texture and inclusions that catch and refract the light beautifully. When illuminated, the glass produces a luminous, crystalline effect—layered, architectural, and unmistakably Scarpa in its mastery of light and structure.
The glass elements are suspended from the original metal framework, creating a balanced yet richly dimensional silhouette that appears to float when viewed from below. This design exemplifies Scarpa’s iconic approach to Murano glass: rigorous geometry softened by artisanal irregularity.
A timeless and highly collectible example of Italian modernist lighting, equally suited to both contemporary and classic interiors.
