Grand Planetario Brass Chandelier 8 Arms, Brass Shades, Silvio Piattelli Design

About the Item

This unique chandelier is inspired by the solar system, with each arm representing a planet, and the central sphere symbolizing the sun. It has a diameter of 60 in. (152 cm). The chandelier is versatile enough to accommodate low ceilings, as its overall height can be easily customized. The shades are connected to the arms with pivot joints so that the light can be oriented in different ways. Although it provides mostly ambient light reflected towards the ceiling with the shades acting as reflectors, each shade has a hole in it which shines some direct light downwards, highlighting the tips of reflecting objects such as silverware and crystalware and giving them depth. In order to create a uniform, warm light output, the brass shades, even the lacquered ones, are left in natural brass. This provides a warm ambient light. The arms and the body are made in natural solid brass and hand finished. The standard shade colors are ivory, black and natural brass. Natural patina brass comes as standard. The central sphere, made of heavy cast brass, measures approximately 6 in. (14 cm). The outline of the shades has been designed to echo the iconic 1950s pieces made by mid-century modern Italian studios Arteluce and Stilnovo, but with a unique and distinctive design that will add elegance and sophistication to any home. The arms have a diameter of 12 mm, with thick walls to make them perfectly rigid. The stems are made with a system that can rotate 180 degrees on each arm, making any position possible. The chandelier can be rotated when it is already lit. The lightbulb recommended is an A15 with an E26 (US) or E27 (EU) base. The shade was designed so that if an A15 bulb is used (one of the most common on the market), it will be centered with the hole. This chandelier is currently only made to order. Please contact us for any special size requirements. This fixture must only be installed by someone who is familiar with how the product is constructed and operated.

  • Sistema Chandelier by Piattelli Design, 8-shade
    By Silvio Piattelli, Stilnovo, Bruno Gatta
    Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
    This chandelier uses an ingenious rotating stem structure and features a shallow drum-shaped shade at the end of each arm. The chandelier arms are designed with two lengths so that each can be staggered at different angles. They work well in any space and suit both regular and low-ceilinged rooms wonderfully. The result is uniform lighting from above the dining table. There is nothing else like this on the market. There are beautiful chandeliers available, but they always tend to give out too much light in the center and too little at either side. This is the largest Sistema chandelier with 4 arms and 8 shades. Ideal for a long rectangular dining table. Each shade has two LED strips that can be lit separately. In this way you can have either a regular light or a stronger light depending on how you need to use the chandelier. The LEDs are top quality with a CRI of over 80. This ensures that the natural color of food and people can be seen perfectly. See the next to last photo, where there is some fruit and a color chart below the chandelier. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can rotate 180 degrees, for many possible combinations. See the drawing for the two regular positions. The chandelier can also be rotated when it is lit. The shades can be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). The shades have neutral white glass fixtures. Please see the photos. On the back there is a smaller Lucite opening for giving ambient light. The chandelier has the ingenious brass finishes of the orbitale collection. This listing shows measurements for a dining table and the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Please see the last image for all sizes and ask for high resolution technical drawings if you need them. Please see the drawing to get an idea of sizes for the different chandeliers. On the upper side of each disc there is a smaller opening to provide ambient light. Top-quality LEDs with over 80 CRI, meaning that the lighting does not alter the color of food and people. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can be rotated 180 degrees to configure various combinations. As well as two rows of evenly-spaced lights over a dining table, a regular 8-shade star or 4-shade star (see photos) are possible, as well as creative sculptural shapes. The arms can be rotated even when the chandelier is lit. The shades can also be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). This listing shows the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Silvio Piattelli copyright and design. Specifications (Note: The Sistema chandelier has glass shades, while Sistema Solare...
