Marcello Fantoni Brutalist Chandelier, 1960s

Italian Brutalist Lighting

A striking Italian Brutalist chandelier by Marcello Fantoni for Fantoni Studio Firenze, produced in the 1960s. The design combines sculptural metalwork with richly textured amber glass, creating a dramatic architectural form with a strong handcrafted presence.

Marcello Fantoni for Fantoni Studio Firenze

Marcello Fantoni was known for an expressive approach that crossed ceramics, sculpture, metalwork and design. This chandelier reflects that language through its dense arrangement of irregular perforated metal tubes surrounding amber glass diffusers. Comparable examples are documented as Fantoni Studio Firenze production from the 1960s.

Sculptural Metal and Amber Glass

The chandelier is built from clusters of vertically arranged perforated metal tubes in varying heights, creating a highly textured Brutalist silhouette. The warm amber glass elements sit within the metal structure and produce a rich, atmospheric glow when illuminated. The contrast between the aged metal patina and luminous glass gives the piece a particularly strong sculptural character.
