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.

Following the huge success of Marco Dessí’s Basket Chandelier we decided to come up with a smaller version of this lamp for hallways or staircases. It premiered in September 2011 in Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts.
Inspired by the shape of traditional lanterns, Dessí was weaving a basket-like structure using hexagonally bent glass tubes in combination with silken cords. The ceiling fixture is a versatile extension of the original Basket-series enabling application in low-ceiling rooms.
The silken ropes leave room to create bespoke variants to match the ambience of the perspective room.

Lights | 15 x G4-Halogen; Max. Watt.: 300 W |
Options | Metal parts in different finishes; various colors of silk ropes |
