This Prismatico Glass Chandelier in pure Clear Glass is the large version of the Prismatico collection, featuring 169 blown glass elements and a 90 cm (32″) diameter.
The design incorporates pencil-shaped glass elements arranged to form a compact barrier, concealing the hardware and offering a seamless glass view. The concave sides of each prism act as a magnifying lens, effectively hiding the hardware and creating the appearance of floating glass elements.
Technically, I used light dispersion through refraction rather than the traditional diffraction method. This approach allowed me to avoid the rough or hammered texture typically seen in multiple blown glass elements, resulting in smooth, clean surfaces with crisp edges. This unique technique sets my design apart and it shows it’s value with the purity of clear transparent Cristallo glass.
Created by Silvio Piattelli in 2021, this chandelier presents a modern approach to multi-glass fixtures. The hardware is finished in warm brass, with glass elements secured by solid brass fittings.
The chandelier can be installed with a hardwired stem for flush mounting or with an optional chain for high ceilings.
The showcased version features clear transparent Cristallo glass, providing pure and high light output. Other colors are available, including mixing clear and light amber 1:1
With a capacity for 12 bulbs, each up to 60W, the chandelier delivers 8000 lumens, suitable for both bright and subdued lighting needs.
The Prismatico chandelier is offered in various sizes to suit different spaces.
