Candela

A touch of light, named after the “candle” in Italian. The Candela Pendant from Vistosi is a low-key marvel, achieving near-perfect geometry through the art of glassblowing. This Vistosi-designed piece reflects the studio’s approach of combining ancient glass-making techniques with contemporary forms. This pendant’s floating suspension and trim figure make it a versatile standout across rooms. The mouth-blown glass shade’s outline is even from top to bottom, a feat requiring great skill and patience by the glass artist. A bulb nestled inside creates a gradient of illumination on the tubular glass like a candlestick. This pendant produces a touch of clean, soft light.

One of Italy’s most prestigious and prolific names in Murano glassmaking, Vistosi specializes in hand-blown glass lighting fixtures with an expertise that can be traced to the 1500s. Officially incorporated as Vetreria Vistosi in 1989 with the Moretti family, Vistosi continues to invest in new technologies and methods of production compatible with the historical craft, resulting in an extensive collection of highly decorative yet durable lighting designs.
