COMASTUDIO presents LACE ° 1, the first chandelier in a limited edition of 4 + 2 Artist's Proof. LACE is made of salvaged glass parts that once be-‐ longed to a ceiling fixture measuring 3 x 3 m.
Magdalena Zeller – creative director of the Viennese COMASTUDIO – made it her mission to bring exquisite works in glass back to life. The original design was done by Flavio Poli in the early 1950s and custom made by Seguso Vetri d’Arte (VE) for the Grand Hotel Bristol in Meran, Italy.
Falvio Poli deceased, the hotel was demolished, the chandelier de-‐ constructed and its pieces scattered throughout the world. COMASTU-‐ DIO's intention was not to reproduce the original setup, but to draft a modern re-‐edition of this masterpiece of Italien glass design.
LACE Nº1's supporting structure is designed upon the retrieved crystal elements and carefully arranged to form a breezy cloud. Therefore each one of the 4 fixtures is unique in size and shape. Lasered out of 2 mm aluminum sheets and bent by hand, the design is lightweight and conveys the electrical elements (such as LED strips which are dimmable by remote up to 300 Watts) as well as a straightforward mounting system.
Lace °1 is distributed and can be order via the Berlin-‐New York design marketplace L’ArcoBaleno.
