Product description
Chandelier of the model Tulipan manufactured by the renowned company Kalmar Franken in the 1960s.
The chandelier consists of a white frame that carries 11 tulip-shaped elements in Murano crystal glass. These were manufactured by AZ Mazzega and each glass was hand-blown using the Pulegoso technique. This creates small bubbles in the glass which diffuses a beautiful light and makes each glass unique.
During his career, Austrian designer J.T. Kalmar designed lighting fixtures for many renowned architects, as well as for important institutions, for example, the Vienna Opera and the Vienna Stock Exchange. In the last decade of his life, Kalmar developed several very popular lighting collections, including Tulipan (c. 1960), Ice Glass (1960) and Atomic (1969).
Kalmar lighting can be found in prominent locations around the world, including the RMS Queen Mary 2, the Kremlin Presidential Palace in Moscow and the Burj Tower in Dubai.
The chandelier is in nice vintage condition with the glass fully intact. The metal frame has probably been repainted once in the same color but this is not noticeable when the chandelier is hanging up. The frame still has the original manufacturer's sticker.
