Mars Chandelier: Contemporary Murano Glass with Sculptural Arms
Mars explores a different side of Venetian decorative lighting.
Instead of following the elaborate floral language of traditional Murano chandeliers, its design emphasizes unusual glass forms and a contemporary composition.
Distorted arms and a distinctive central castello structure give Mars its individual character, creating a chandelier where the shape of the glass becomes the main decorative element.
Distorted Glass Arms and Contemporary Movement
The defining feature of Mars is its sculptural arrangement of glass arms.
Their distorted forms introduce movement and visual complexity, giving the chandelier a less conventional appearance than traditional symmetrical lighting designs.
The central castello provides an organizing element within the composition, bringing the individual glass components together around a recognizable structure.
Because the chandelier is made entirely in clear glass, these forms remain visible without the distraction of strong colour.
The result is contemporary Murano lighting that expresses its personality through silhouette, transparency and reflected light.
Twelve Lights Across Two Levels
Mars features twelve lights arranged in an 8+4 configuration.
Measuring 108 cm high and 108 cm in diameter, it has substantial proportions suited to generous interiors.
The two-level arrangement gives the chandelier depth and vertical presence, while the transparent glass helps maintain visual openness.
Mars can become a focal point above a large dining table, within a spacious living room or in an entrance where decorative lighting is intended to play an important architectural role.
The Changing Character of Clear Glass
Transparency is particularly important to the Mars design.
During the day, the clear glass interacts with natural light and surrounding materials, allowing the unusual shapes of its arms to remain the visual focus.
Once illuminated, reflections become more prominent throughout the composition, emphasizing the relationship between the central structure and the individual glass elements.
This makes Mars an appealing choice for contemporary interiors where the chandelier should be expressive without introducing a dominant colour.
Handcrafted in Murano
Each Mars Chandelier is handcrafted by Roberto Beltrami and his team in Wave's Murano furnace.
The distorted glass arms are central to its design, connecting the contemporary appearance of the chandelier with the glassmaking expertise required to shape its individual elements.
The piece can also be crafted upon commission.
Give Your Interior a Sculptural Centrepiece
Mars works particularly well in interiors that combine clean architectural lines with a few expressive decorative objects.
Its unusual glasswork provides contrast to minimalist furniture and restrained materials, while its transparency allows the surrounding space to remain visually open.
Choose Mars when you want a chandelier that feels closer to a contemporary glass sculpture. Its distinctive arms and layered composition can give your room a focal point that becomes more interesting every time you look at it.
