Flavio Poli for Seguso Murano glass and brass chandelier 1950

This beautiful murano glass and brass light fixture, designed by flavio poli for seguso in the 1950s, is a remarkable piece. Composed of three conical luminaires, it perfectly illustrates the sommerso glass technique where different layers of material are superimposed, thus offering a variety of consistencies and reflections. Here, the murano glass has a light blue tint and a central relief which magnifies the diffusion of the light emitted by the bulbs. This chandelier testifies to the finesse of the work of flavio poli, one of the greatest italian glass artists of the 20th century. Completely cleaned, restored, electrified, this chandelier is in superb condition, and embodies the timeless elegance of italian craftsmanship. Flavio poli (1900-1984) was an italian glass artist famous for his collaboration with the historic venetian glass manufacturer seguso, of which he was artistic director from 1937 to 1963. His mastery of the sommerso technique earned him worldwide recognition. Among poli's most famous pieces are the sommerso vases, characterized by their bold colors and organic shapes, which became symbols of murano glass design in the mid-20th century.
