"Il Pezzo 12 Long Chandelier" - length 130cm/51.2” - black and gold finish brass

Founded in Tuscany by Cosimo Terzani and Barbara Bertocci in 2010, Italian furniture and lighting firm Il Pezzo Mancante creates handmade chandeliers, case pieces, sconces and other works that are renowned all over the globe for their timeless elegance. The brand’s founders bring passion and intelligence to the world of design and to Tuscany’s artisan culture.

With works that see an alluring integration of solid wood, brass castings, hand-blown crystal and marble, Il Pezzo Mancante’s Terzani and Bertocci connect intimately with natural and luxe manmade materials, creating visually pleasing and functional works of art. The founders’ respect for wood as a living material, their painstaking quest for marble from the finest Carrara quarries and their working with natural materials to shape their designs’ final forms are fundamental to Il Pezzo Mancante. This hands-on approach is among the most rewarding parts of the production process. 

The firm’s designs for lighting include the famed Il Pezzo 3 collection’s chandeliers, wall lights, sconces and floor lamps, while Il Pezzo Mancante mixes traditional techniques with computer-aided precision technology to transform raw, live materials into spectacular dining room tables, console tables, dressers and credenzas. 

The name of the company translates to “the missing piece” — a reference to the founders’ journey to the next plateau in design as well as to the distinctive way each piece is identified. A brass cylinder engraved with a given piece’s serial number is concealed within every fixture or piece of furniture to ensure that each Il Pezzo Mancante piece is authentic and one of a kind.
