PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This neoclassical chandelier combines a brass structure with red plexiglass elements, expressing the bold meeting between historical vocabulary and modern materials characteristic of the 1970s. The brass, finely worked, deploys a disciplined neoclassical ornamental grammar, while the red plexiglass introduces a vivid, almost pop note that brings the whole up to date.
Coloured plexiglass became in the 1960s and 1970s a signature material of decorators seeking to dust off classical codes. Its introduction into a neoclassical composition — here paired with noble brass — produces an unexpected dialogue between French decorative tradition and plastic modernity. The light filtering through the red plexiglass brings a warm, enveloping tint to the space.
With generous dimensions (Width: 67.5 cm | Depth: 67.5 cm | Height: 40 cm), it naturally takes its place at the centre of a living room, a dining room, an entrance hall or a reception space. Its bichromatic palette makes it a strong visual signature.
A typical 1970s lighting piece whose chromatic boldness continues to enchant eclectic and contemporary interiors.
