The DC1909A chandelier takes its visual cues from chochin lanterns, which illuminate homes and festivals all over Japan. The paper and bamboo frames of chochin lanterns are here replaced by iridescent Murano glass and brass metal, continuing Vincenzo De Cotiis’ exploration into the relationship between material and light. Every glass globe is different in shape and size due to the fluid nature of the blowing process. Murano glass represents water and fluidity in his work, in contrast to the solid metals and fibreglass, with the iridescent element added while the glass is still hot.
