Three-arm glass brass and steel pendant light, Italy

Notes

Gaetano Sciolari's designs for his own manufacturing company began to take off with high-end interior designers in Europe and the US in the mid to late 1960s.

This body of work was influenced by a range of art movements, from Cubism and Deconstructivism, to Minimalism, but always exhibited a sophisticated, sculptural, and even futuristic interpretation. He juxtaposed highly polished metals against satin finishes, including the unconventional combination of brass with chrome.

Sciolari passed away in 1994. Today, his lamps, pendants, and chandeliers fetch high prices and are highly sought after by collectors.
