The starting point for Marco Dessí ’s design was the reproduction of an early baroque glass-arm-chandelier from Schloss Hof palace.
Marco Dessí approached the project to not only reinvent the use of those glass-arms, but drew upon the vast variety of different types of chandeliers to carry over this technique to a totally new application.
Inspired by the shape of traditional lanterns he wove a basket-like structure using hexagonally bent glass tubes in combination with silken cords. The light source was selected to be a twisted spiral of halogen bulbs around a vertical pole like a double helix.
The glass basket element comes in two sizes. Both sizes can be used as pendant chandeliers or ceiling fixtures. The smaller size can also be applied as a floor lamp. Heights of the stem can be customized as standard.
Metal parts come finished in polished nickel and gold. The glass parts can be toned in certain colours.
