Large 9-light Custom Murano Glass Sputnik Chandelier

The Sputnik design is a distinctive style that originated in the mid-20th century and draws inspiration from the Space Age and the shape of the Soviet Union's satellite, Sputnik. It is characterized by a central sphere or core from which multiple arms or rods extend in various directions, resembling the appearance of a celestial body with orbiting satellites.

The Murano Sputnik chandelier incorporates the iconic Sputnik design, reimagined with the exquisite beauty of Murano glass. The 76 glass rods, made of crystal clear tear drops encased in glass, are arranged in a radial pattern, emanating from a central chrome center. This arrangement mimics the concept of satellites orbiting a central core, capturing the essence of the Sputnik design.

The choice of Murano glass for this chandelier adds a unique and luxurious element to this Sputnik design. Murano glass is celebrated for its exceptional clarity, vibrant colors, and exquisite craftsmanship. The crystal clear tear drops encased in glass create a mesmerizing visual effect as they catch and reflect light, enhancing the overall brilliance and luminosity of the chandelier.

The nine bulb sockets on the chrome center provide ample illumination, ensuring that the chandelier not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also effectively lights up the space. The chrome center adds a modern touch to the chandelier, creating a sleek and contemporary contrast against the timeless beauty of the Murano glass rods.
