Mid-Century Italian Poliedri Chandelier by Carlo Scarpa for Venini

An iconic Mid-Century chandelier designed by Carlo Scarpa for Venini, showcasing the refined geometry and material innovation that defines his work.
Composed of individually hand-blown poliedri glass elements, each faceted prism is meticulously suspended to form a dense, sculptural composition. The chandelier features a beautiful interplay of clear and warm amber tones, creating depth, contrast, and a subtle rhythm across the surface.
Each glass element captures and refracts the light differently, producing a soft, diffused glow while maintaining a sense of structure and clarity. The layered arrangement enhances the volumetric form, giving the piece both presence and delicacy.
A timeless and highly collectible example of Venetian glass design, embodying Scarpa’s architectural approach to light and form.
