Designed by Pietro Chiesa and produced by Fontana Arte in Italy circa 1938, this ceiling lamp reflects the refined elegance of the Italian art of glassmaking. Its brass structure supports a bouquet of cut crystal diffusers in green, light blue, amethyst, yellow, and smoky tones, generating a nuanced spectrum of reflections. Suspended like a luminous cluster, the composition reveals Chiesa’s mastery in elevating glass from material to medium, where colour and light merge in a quietly sophisticated presence.
