Floor Chandeliers: scenic beauty from the ground up
Floor-standing chandeliers embody the sculptural elegance of their suspended counterparts, elevating the timeless allure of decorative lighting to new height of style. These installations rise from the floor, celebrating the classical elegance of traditional chandeliers or adopting a contemporary reinterpretation—each piece both precious and sophisticated, sometimes even surprising.
A quintessential example of classic floor lamp beauty, the Carlo Scarpa 99.37 is the result of the prolific collaboration between Venini and the designer. As artistic director for over a decade, Carlo Scarpa led Venini's artistic endeavors, merging his unique design ethos with the exquisite techniques of Murano glassmaking. This chandelier exemplifies that fusion—simultaneously minimalistic and opulent.
The sophisticated Caboche Plus floor lamp by Foscarini artfully reimagines the traditional floor chandelier. It features a stylized silhouette and a lighter design that modernizes the opulence of crystal shades. A part of Foscarini's best-selling collection—designed by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto— this floor lamp combines artisanal sophistication with innovative design to highlight transparency and lightness.
Designed by Luca Nichetto and unveiled at Salone del Mobile 2023 as part of Ginori 1735's Domus home collection, the Conterie lamp by Barovier & Toso draws inspiration from the exquisite porcelain jewelry found in Ginori 1735's Manifattura historical archive. The base is crafted from handcrafted porcelain and mouth-blown Venetian crystal beads, topped with a Murano glass cone that mirrors the base and emits a soft, delicate light.
The Fun 1 STM floor chandelier by Verpan is part of a larger iconic collection designed by Verner Panton in 1964 which also includes dramatic pendant and table lamps. This floor chandelier reinterprets the lampshade of the classic archetype by using wafer-thin mother-of-pearl discs connected by steel, gold, or silver chains, creating a sophisticated and luminescent effect. A creative restyling that reflects Panton's artistic flair, marking it as a timeless piece of beauty in the realm of decorative lighting.
Tom Dixon's Melt Stand Chandelier represents one of the latest evolutions of one of the brand's most iconic collections. The Melt floor chandelier replicates the pendant's design, standing as a dynamic sculpture of light within the home, characterized by its eclectic and whimsical style.
Sebastian Herkner’s designs for Pulpo include both pendant and floor lamps that feature a sculptural, blown glass design. The Stellar Grape floor chandelier perfectly balances its slender frame with a visually striking cluster of glass spheres, offering a contemporary and innovative take on floor chandeliers.
Aiardini’s Esmeralda lamp boasts an eclectic and ornate style, seamlessly fitting into both modern and classic, more traditional settings. Its lampshade features an intricate play of satin-finished discs and shiny rings, creating a dance of light reflections through crystal facets—a prime example of a floor chandelier that decoratively enhances a space, even when not illuminated.
Inspired by the Art Deco era, Contardi's Calypso collection seamlessly incorporates vibrant South American and tropical motifs into its design, showcasing a lampshade adorned with black and white geometric patterns accentuated by bright colors. The indoor floor version, a collaborative effort between Contardi and Servomuto, includes a marble top, blending aesthetics and functionality to create a floor chandelier with a distinctly exotic allure.
