Gino Paroldo

Pendant Lamp
Made by Fontana Arte, Italy, ca. 1960.

Metal frame with thick, vertical, hammered glass diffusers in Nile Green, arranged radially in an irregular pattern around the light fixture. The glass, characterized by a wavy, organic surface, features a texture reminiscent of molten or hot-stamped glass, creating a striking interplay of refractions and a vibrant, diffused light.

The chandelier's design reflects the sculptural taste of 1960s Italian lighting, in which glass plays an expressive and decorative role.
