Mid-Century Chrome 8 Bulb Pendant Chandelier by Gaetano Sciolari for Lightolier, 1970

The work of celebrated mid-century italian lighting designer and entrepreneur angelo gaetano sciolari became widely popular across the design world in europe & the usa during the postwar years and strongly influenced lighting makers around the world. The sculptural forms and striking geometric details of his vintage floor lamps, long chandeliers and other fixtures fit seamlessly into any interior they are placed in.

sciolari drew on a range of influences — enthusiasts see the imprint of art deco, brutalism and more in his lighting — and designed futuristic space age chandeliers, ceiling lamps and pendants for stilnovo as well as stilkronen, s.a. Boulanger & most prominently lightolier from which this long chandelier was designed.

this piece was released in 1969 made from chrome featuring original style bulb fixtures.
