Solna Chandelier
Starting at $36,000 USD
A cascade of three curving forms, the Solna Chandelier is Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer’s reimagining of one of their earliest and best-selling pendant lights.
Seven years after the Solna Pendant Light’s 2017 debut, the new addition imaginatively rearticulates the classic elliptical shape with a lower lip. For the chandelier, the reflective glass shades hang together like sculptural mirrors from a single canopy. New custom U-shaped stem links connect each shade’s exposed metal brightwork collar to three hand-spun brass stems.
The designers entrust the Solna Chandelier’s shades to glassblowing masters in a 150-year-old French workroom. Upon completion, the chandelier is finished with custom metal components made entirely of solid brass alloy, hand-spun and polished by generational metalsmiths at a family-owned atelier in Paris.
