Lino Sabattini's "Concerto di trombe" candelabra, made for Christofle is composed of three arms that rise like stylized trumpets, generating a dynamic and musical, almost choreographic composition. The polished surfaces reflect the light in a changing manner, reinforcing the sensation of movement and lightness. Formally, the chandelier refers to an organic and futuristic language of the time.
Sabattini's work is characterized precisely by this ability to take Italian goldsmithing into a more sculptural and experimental territory. Trained in a context marked by artisanal tradition, he collaborated closely with figures such as Gio Ponti, which influenced his openness towards modern, elegant and profoundly innovative design. Throughout his career, he developed his own language based on the purity of lines, the exploration of materials and a constant dialogue between art and function. His collaboration with prestigious houses such as Christofle allowed him to spread his vision to a wider public, positioning him as one of the great renovators of contemporary metalwork.
