Elegant and sculptural Murano glass chandelier by Venini, Italy, 1970s. This pendant light features a dense arrangement of vertically suspended clear glass tubes that form a cylindrical shadow around the internal light sources. A second layer of smaller tubes forms the base of the chandelier, concealing the internal structure. All the tubes are cut to create the illusion of a flat base and are suspended from a polished metal frame, resulting in a clean, architectural silhouette.
When illuminated, the glass rods capture the light, producing a soft, diffused glow with subtle reflections—a wonderful balance between transparency and texture. The vertical rhythm of the glass lends the chandelier a modernist presence while retaining Venini's signature craftsmanship and sense of luxury.
Dimensions without chain and canopy.
