A modernist four-arm chandelier featuring a geometric construction in blackened hammered metal. The composition rests on a cross-shaped structure with taut, asymmetrical lines, punctuated by circular cups with tapered spikes. The overall effect is an architectural silhouette reminiscent of European Brutalist designs from the 1960s and 70s.
The hammering, visible across the entire surface, enhances the sculptural aspect of the object and creates interesting variations in light depending on the viewing angle. The central chrome sphere provides a visual contrast typical of modernist designs, blending Brutalist and Space Age influences.
With its elongated proportions, this chandelier can be used as a centerpiece, console table, or sculptural decorative element in a modernist, minimalist, or Brutalist interior. Technical Details:
