MIDAS CHANDELIER by SAMI SAVATLI
Midas Chandelier is an iconic assemblage of modern design and minimalist form, exuding a contemporary refinement while emphasizing the layered gold leaves on glass. The globe’s richly textured artisanal glass surfaces by gold leaves while creating translucency, transitions between opaque and transparent surfaces build sophisticated light play.
The simplicity and modernity of the form with its clean architectural structure details by combining traditional gold leaf technique create the timeless piece is Savatlı’s unique combination of brass, glass and gold leafs required skilled craftsmanship and sensitivity to make.
The chandelier, handcrafted by artisans and made of hand blown 11 glass globes, gold leaf gilding to create outer space and finished with aged brass structure adds spirit and dimension to any space. Warm metals such as brass or gold always add a touch of luxury and glamour to any space.
