An amazing Poliedri Murano we sourced in Venice, inspired by the piece used in the hallway statement piece used by designer Róisín Lafferty in a Georgian-style schoolhouse-turned-cool-house in coastal Galway, Ireland. Read the article here.
The Poliedri Murano chandelier in smoked glass with 275 pieces and Ø120cm is a statement of artistry and history, a piece that captures the essence of Venetian glassmaking while exuding modern sophistication. Hanging from the ceiling like a cascade of frozen light, each hand-blown glass module, or poliedro, forms a geometric symphony—refracting ambient light in soft, golden hues that shift as one moves around the room.
Murano glass, an art form perfected over centuries on the Venetian island of Murano, is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship. The poliedri design, first introduced in the mid-20th century, embodies both structure and fluidity. The smoked glass variation, with its subtle transparency and depth, adds a sense of mystery—smoky veils of light that soften the sharp edges of its crystalline.
Unlike traditional chandeliers, the Poliedri Murano does not simply illuminate a space; it transforms it. In smoked glass, the interplay between darkness and illumination becomes almost theatrical—shadows dance on the walls, golden glows shimmer on polished surfaces, and the chandelier itself seems to float, ethereal and weightless.
Note : The chandelier used in the hallway is similar and the exact piece. See detail pics of the item for reference.
