This postmodern three-tier Murano glass shell chandelier was designed and manufactured by the prestigious La Murrina in Murano, Italy, in the 1970s. This striking fixture features cascading, hand-blown Cristallo glass elements—masterfully layered with opaque Lattimo and translucent amber glass gracefully suspended from a solid metal frame.
Utilizing the traditional Sommerso technique, each hand-formed glass shell features a dense, stark-white core of opaque Lattimo milk glass or a fluid, translucent layer of rich amber glass. These bold colored stripes are seamlessly encased within a thick, high-clarity Cristallino border, creating a brilliant interplay of light, rich texture, and warmth.
La Murrina Fornace, established in 1968 on the island of Murano, Italy, was founded by a group of master glassblowers. In 1974, it was acquired by an industrialist family from Milan. This union of expertise enabled La Murrina to seamlessly merge glass artistry with metal craftsmanship, propelling innovation in lighting design.
The fixture is designed to be installed flush with the ceiling, with a fixed height of 34 inches and a diameter of 22 inches. The top of the fixture acts as a canopy (ceiling cover).
A smaller companion version of this La Murrina fixture is also available. Please view our shop profile to see the matching small-scale shell pendant light to complete a cohesive multi-room design layout.
Total dimensions assembled: H=34 in. W=22 in. D=22 in. 40 lbs.
