Contemporary chandelier BALLROOM

Murano glassblown glassmetal

design Samuele Mazza Whether it is black or whether it is white, “no colour” (the sum of ail coloure or the lack of colours) is the distinguishing feature which gives an unmistakable contemporary look to the new Samuele Mazza chandelier for la murrina: the unique look of opulent anti-minimalism, dreams and contamination has always been the styliatic hallmark of the designer. The decidedly evocative chandelier, worthy of the most magnificent GtUtopardo settings - the novel set in the island of Sicily where the designer was born - also mixes touches and contamination of Florence, another cit)' which strongly influenced the cour-se of the designer. The name Dallroom is a tribute to the m agi cal ballrooms of times gone by: from the magnificence and opulence of the Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi (featured in Luchino Visconti’s film adaptation of Il Gattopardo), to the Reggia di Caserta and other examples of Italian architectural excellence of the 700s. The Ballroom collection perfectly recréâtes the atmosphère of antique candelabras and is com-pleted by wall, floor and table lights. The collection pays homage to an area of the World which no longer exista in modem political geography; the adjective form perfectly fits the mood which Mazza defines as “byzantine” with the up and coming middle bourgeoisie aiming at possessing “fragments of Made In Italy”.
