Crystal raindrops fall from an enormous explosive surface held by a barely perceptible metal structure, so thin it would appear to be unable to carry such a multitude of obsessively repeated strings of pendants. Space is swallowed up by the three-dimensionality of the chandelier as light reveals a fourth dimension.

Created in 1993 by Milanese architects Ivan Lolli and Mario Memmoli, the Italian lighting design brand Lolli e Memmoli produce meticulously handcrafted lighting pieces. Their collection designs give a sense of lightness and a modern aesthetic to the traditionally heavyweight chandelier design. Like the glowing silhouettes of couture dresses, each of Lolli e Memmoli’s light pieces features detailed meshes of hand-cut Bohemian crystals sewn together around thin and seamless structures.
