Angelo Gaetano Sciolari
Angelo Gaetano Sciolari (1927-1994) was the owner of Sciolari Lighting and designer for Italian manufacturer Stilnovo in the 1950s. It was while working for Stilnovo that Sciolari "created his most recognizable and famous designs, a series of multi-light chandeliers fashioned from shiny and matte metal, evoking futuristic visions of the emerging space age". Throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, his designs were in great demand and were imported into the American market by Lightolier and Progress Lighting. During the same period, his designs featured prominently on television and in popular films for their luxurious, futuristic look.
