Vintage opaline glass and brass chandelier by Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce, 1958

This chandelier in white opaline glass, brass and metal was designed by Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce in 1958. Featuring an abstract structure meticulously crafted from curved brass rods surrounding the opaline glass shade, this luminaire is a variation on Lelii's iconic Medusa chandelier. The matte finish of the opaline offers a warm, diffused light captured by the brass, elegantly setting off the ensemble. This piece has been restored and electrified, and is in superb condition. Angelo Lelii (1911-1979) was an Italian designer renowned for his innovative work in lighting design. In 1947, Lelli founded Arredoluce and became a key player in promoting Italian design worldwide. In collaboration with renowned designers such as Franco Albini and Achille and Pier Castiglioni, Lelli produced, through Arredoluce, avant-garde lighting collections featuring minimalist forms inspired by new technologies. Today, its legacy continues to inspire designers the world over, confirming its status as a visionary in the field. Literature: A. Pansera, A. Padoan, A.
