ABOUT PRODUCTID 11430
The sputnik-type chandelier designed by Jaroslav Bejvl for the Kamenický Šenov manufactory exemplifies 1970s Czech mid-century modern lighting. Its construction features a central, satin-finished brass sphere from which twelve evenly spaced arms radiate, each ending in a matte white glass globe. The brass elements bear a warm golden tone with subtle patina, while the seamless joints and well-fitted shades speak to the precision of the craftsmanship. The frosted glass diffuses light softly, lending the fixture a harmonious, starburst geometry. Suspended from a matching brass rod and canopy, the chandelier is preserved in very good vintage condition, showing no significant signs of damage or wear.This chandelier tells the story of an era fascinated by the future—a time in Central Europe when the optimism of the space age and the iconography of Sputnik inspired designers to explore bold yet balanced forms. The radiant brass arms and opaline glass globes evoke a sense of cosmic wonder, echoing the aspirations of the 1970s. The satin brass surface draws the eye, while the gentle glow from the glass orbs conjures images of a starlit sky, infusing interiors with a subtle sense of drama.The chandelier may serve as a striking centrepiece in a living room with high ceilings, especially when paired with minimalist or vintage-inspired furnishings from the 1960s and 1970s. It can be combined with low-profile sofas, solid wood tables, or black metal accents to highlight the interplay of textures and colours. In an eclectic space, it would work well alongside vibrant textiles or art glass, emphasizing its sculptural silhouette and vintage character.
