Mid Century Modern Italian Glass and Chrome Pendant Light by Gaetano Sciolari

Mid Century Modern Italian Glass and Chrome Pendant Light

This Mid Century Modern pendant light designed by Gaetano Sciolari showcases the refined balance of hand-blown Italian glass with a polished chrome frame. Featuring four spherical glass globes, each in a striking blue and white swirl pattern, the pendant creates a dynamic interplay of colour and form. The vertical chrome stem and tiered arrangement provide a sculptural presence, perfectly suited for statement interiors.

Italian lighting design in space-age style

Ideal for dining areas, lounges, or high-ceilinged spaces, this vintage Italian chandelier offers both functional lighting and artistic expression. The blue and white Murano-style swirls within each globe diffuse light softly, adding atmosphere and sophistication. Its bold geometry and chromed fittings make it a piece that embodies the glamour of the 1960s and 1970s space-age aesthetic.

Sciolari’s design context and materials

Gaetano Sciolari’s work is renowned for bridging modernist rigor with ornamental luxury. Chrome and blown glass were hallmark materials of the era, combining sleek industrial finishes with artisanal glasswork. This pendant light reflects Sciolari’s ability to create lighting that is both architectural and decorative, making it highly collectible among design enthusiasts today.
