Ambaradan
MODERN CHANDELIER IN MURANO GLASS
A journey into the classic Venetian chandelier, a reinterpretation of the iconic Rezzonico-style chandelier with its typical glass bosses and sumptuous decorative apparatus.
Ambaradan is a deconstructed Rezzonico, which lets out the soul of its form, eliminating the ‘excess’ bosses, reducing their number and replacing them with an ordered chaos of spheres. Like a great explosion of soap bubbles, where everything seems to be left to chance, but in fact it is not.

Interview
INTO THE IDEAS OF DESIGNERS: AN INSIGHT
How did you come up with this product idea in the first place?
It is a journey into the classic Venetian chandelier, it is my personal reinterpretation of the iconic and high-impact rezzonico in a cage, often the observer sees the skin, the glass bosses, here I wanted to deconstruct it, bringing out the soul of its form, the structure, eliminating the “excess” bosses, reducing the number and replacing them with an orderly chaos of spheres, like a large explosion of soap bubbles, where everything seems to be left to chance, but in fact it is not.
How was the name conceived and what does it mean?
“Ordered Chaos”…
Are you satisfied with the result? How much does it deviate from the theoretical project and how much of interest was born in the production process itself?
Definitely satisfied.
What is light for you and how do you like to handle it in your designs?
As a designer, I was born and bred in the world of glass and light, and I have always tried to use it with the aim of improving environments, even in shadow, if you notice, light is always the component that makes a difference; after all, without light, colours are missing, and it changes them.
If you had to think of a soundtrack to represent the work, which song would you choose? Or which artist?
Sabotage, Beastie Boys
What did you particularly enjoy about the collaboration with Multiforme?
Definitely the enthusiasm and outspoken freedom of interpretation in the collaboration, in all aspects.
Is there a project you haven’t done yet that you dream of realising in the future?
Designing “the Chair”.
What are 3 20th century characters that have influenced your worldview?
No one in particular… maybe Steven Spielberg with his films when I was a kid in the 80s.
