Orbitale chandelier with 3 rotating arms on the new Giacometti style finish.

About the Item

This new finish adds a unique textured look to the Orbitale collection. It is a thick, handmade plaster finish called the Giacometti finish, used by Diego and Alberto on some of their works. I added hand-applied gold leaf inside the shades to create a warm contrast for the chandelier. Finding the right technical solutions for a rotating chandelier with movable parts was challenging, but the result is impressive. This plaster spatulated work is characteristic of the brutalism period, which emphasized that artists and architects should not embellish construction materials with finishes or coverings. Instead, they were encouraged to creatively use the raw materials in their natural state.

Orbitale Brass Chandelier 3 Rotating Balanced Arms, Ivory Black Twin Shades
By Arteluce, Silvio Piattelli, Stilnovo
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
Orbitale 3 arms frame using the twin shade. Thanks to a customer who had the articulated sconces and wanted this version with black and ivory shades. It's a beautiful combination of colors on the shades with the light noisette patina on the brass. I designed this for being placed above a kitchen island where it's at the best of use, having task light and movable arms and shades. It would be great also over a counter, a dining table and a living room. Arms are balanced with a heavy cast brass sphere and are rotating on the stem in an orbital movement. In order to get perfect balancing the sphere is filled with sand to reach the point of no leverage. Shades are in hand spun aluminum, lacquered with ivory powder paint with eggshell semi matte finish. Black is matte as that is the best with brass. Shades are connected to the arm with a pivot joint to give different possibilities of light orientation. Each shade carries two bulbs. The larger carries...
