The Poppy chandelier is a strikingly handcrafted lighting design that combines artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary modularity. Defined by its transparent lightness and bold detailing, it features delicate blooms supported by red-lacquered brass stems that add a strong personality and a playful pop-inspired touch. Its modular and clusterable design allows it to be adapted for a wide variety of spaces, with the fixture offered in multiples of seven blossoms. Each chandelier carries an individuality of its own, as select flowers are airbrushed in red by master artisans known as the Sarte della Luce. This meticulous, hand-finished process ensures that no two pieces are ever identical, turning every chandelier into a unique work of art.
Each poppy bloom is carefully connected in sequence to the next through a silver-coated copper wire. This wire not only provides low-voltage electricity but also adds a refined visual presence, heightening the poetic and evocative atmosphere of the chandelier. The connections create a sense of lightness and fluid continuity, enhancing the installation’s scenic effect as the blossoms appear to float gracefully in space.
In terms of proportion, each bloom measures approximately 13 by 6 centimeters with a height of 35 centimeters. The design allows for a maximum distance of 80 centimeters between each poppy, giving flexibility in how the chandelier can be composed and arranged. The fixture is suspended on a 300-centimeter cable made of silver-coated copper electric wires, complementing the transparency of the blooms while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.
The materials used in the Poppy chandelier reflect both innovation and artistry. The blossoms are crafted from Lentiflex® and Prisma Lentiflex®, offering a crystalline brilliance and diffused light effect. The surfaces are hand-airbrushed for depth and vibrancy, while the stems are finished in red-coated brass, providing a strong structural accent that ties the piece together.
Performance is equally impressive. The chandelier integrates 14 LED light sources at 3.2 watts each, delivering a total output of 6,300 lumens. The warm white light at 3000 Kelvin, combined with a high-quality color rendering, creates an inviting and atmospheric glow ideal for both residential and commercial interiors. The system runs on 100–240 Vac/24 and is designed for energy efficiency without compromising brightness.
Practicality is considered alongside artistry. The chandelier has a net weight of 1.5 kilograms (gross 5 kilograms), with a slightly heavier option available in the PWM version (net 2 kilograms, gross 5.5 kilograms). Dimming is fully supported, with a standard TRIAC trailing edge system included and additional compatibility with PWM, DALI, or Casambi dimming options available on request for greater flexibility in control.
Altogether, the Poppy chandelier merges delicate artistry with bold design, offering a modular, one-of-a-kind lighting centerpiece. Its handcrafted details, advanced LED performance, and poetic use of materials make it not only a source of illumination but also a sculptural statement that transforms any space into a vivid and expressive environment.
