Iconic table lamp model "Faliera", designed by the famous master glassmaker Luciano Vistosi for the prestigious family firm Vistosi around the 1970s. This piece is a magnificent example of Italian lighting design of the period, where the millenary tradition of Murano glass meets the refined aesthetics of the postmodern movement.

The chandelier is notable for a balanced play of geometries and a boldly asymmetrical composition. It rests on a solid circular base in white glass, from which emerges a cylindrical chromed steel stem in an off-center position. This metal pillar, which adds a cool, architectural touch, supports a majestic flattened dome-shaped shade, made entirely of the highest quality Murano opaline glass.

The contrast between the purity and warmth of the white blown glass and the reflective brilliance of the chrome creates a fascinating visual dialogue. When lit, the opal glass acts as a perfect diffuser, emitting a soft, enveloping and very atmospheric ambient light, ideal for spaces seeking intimate and sophisticated lighting. In addition, the base retains its characteristic original integrated switch, a much-appreciated design detail.

The "Faliera" is not just a luminaire, but a true light sculpture of which very few units were manufactured, making it a unique opportunity to acquire it for collectors of Murano glass and lovers of Italian design of the twentieth century who wish to incorporate a piece with signature, history and an undeniable visual presence in their interior design.
