Mid-Century Italian “Triedri” Chandelier by Venini, c.1960s
Rewired to Australian standards
A striking example of Venini’s mastery of form and light, this mid-century chandelier is composed of hand-formed triedri glass elements—each prism delicately folded into a three-sided profile, creating a sculptural interplay of transparency and reflection.
Arranged in layered tiers, the glass components cascade rhythmically around the central frame, diffusing light with a soft, atmospheric glow. The repetition of these angular forms gives the piece both architectural structure and a sense of movement, characteristic of Venini’s most iconic lighting designs of the period.
The clarity of the glass enhances the luminosity, while subtle variations within each element speak to its handcrafted nature. When illuminated, the chandelier transforms—capturing and refracting light in a way that feels both refined and quietly dramatic.
A timeless statement piece, equally suited to both contemporary and classic interiors.
