$4,600.00

The ‘Laguna’ model chandelier, designed by Renato Toso for Fratelli Toso in the 1960s, exemplifies mid-century Italian glass artistry. Crafted with 28 pieces of iridescent Murano glass, this fixture glows with pearlescent hues, shifting between soft blues, greens, and golds as the light changes. Designed with five lights, the glass delicately rests on a two-tier square metal frame in an ivory finish, creating a sculptural yet effortless aesthetic. Its layered, organic glass forms mirror the fluidity of water, a subtle homage to Venice’s lagoon, casting a serene, ethereal glow.
