Item Description
An elegant and rare glass pendant light designed by Ettore Sottsass for Vistosi in the 1970s. This sculptural piece exemplifies the refined yet experimental sensibility that defines Sottsass’s work — combining clean geometry with artisanal Murano craftsmanship. The pendant features a beautifully hand-blown glass shade suspended from a height-adjustable steel cable, allowing for flexible installation. It retains its original white enameled steel canopy, a detail often missing in vintage examples. Signed Vistosi, this light represents an exceptional collaboration between one of Italy’s most influential designers and a legendary Murano glass manufacturer. A striking focal point for contemporary or mid-century interiors alike.
