Carlo Scarpa Poliedri Glass Pendant Lamp, Italy, 1960s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Pendant Lighting

This Carlo Scarpa Poliedri pendant lamp is an exceptional example of Italian mid-century modern lighting, featuring sculptural textured glass poliedri diffusers arranged around a refined brass and metal frame. The composition creates a dramatic yet elegant light effect, characteristic of Scarpa’s architectural approach to design.

Sculptural Poliedri Glass Composition
The lamp is composed of multiple handcrafted glass poliedri elements, each with a heavily textured surface that softly diffuses light while creating depth and visual rhythm. When illuminated, the glass produces a warm, atmospheric glow, enhancing both residential and architectural interiors.

Italian Craftsmanship and Timeless Design
Designed by Carlo Scarpa and produced in Italy during the 1960s, this pendant reflects the designer’s mastery of materiality and form. The combination of geometric glass volumes and brass detailing results in a highly collectible lighting piece, equally suited to dining areas, entryways, or statement interiors.
