Painted metal frame, blown glass in transparent and smoked tones, each wall sconce is composed of 48 polyhedrons, excellent condition, new electrical system and in accordance with the law, each sconce mounts up to 8 bulbs.
Polihedrons were first proposed as compositional elements of the large Venini chandelier, designed by Ignazio Gardella, Paolo Venini and Enrico Peresutti, presented at the Brussels Expo in 1958, placed in the central hall of the Italian Pavilion.
The famous cascade chandelier proposed at the Turin Expo “Italia ’61” by Venini with Carlo Scarpa was made with such a module.
These blown glass elements made it possible to create lighting apparatuses of ever-changing shapes and sizes.
Chandelier, spherical in shape, composed of the Poliedri elements, made of crystal blown glass and arranged on several levels.
A graduate of the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, here he devoted himself to university teaching, which he continued in various positions until 1977.
Carlo Scarpa made a name for himself after World War II through major installations, particularly in Venice: the Paul Klee exhibition for the XXIV Biennale, the 1950 Art Book Pavilion, and the Italian Pavilion at the XXVI Biennale.
In 1932 he began working with VENINI, becoming its artistic director until 1946. A long period during which he left an indelible mark on the world of the Furnace, for the design of models that have gone down in history and for the search for the most refined techniques.
