DESIGN TRIBUTE · POLIARTE 1960s · VERONA
Amber, clear,
and interlocked.
A reverent contemporary tribute to one of Mid-Century Italy's most iconic lighting forms — the Poliarte interlocking glass chandelier of 1960s Verona. Lucia carries the original's audacious geometry, its alternating amber-and-clear hand-blown cups, its quiet bossa-nova confidence — built today, accessibly priced, for the rooms that still understand it.
12.6"⌀ · Single Edition
A tribute, not a reproduction.
The Lucia is Stuberlighting's homage to the iconic Poliarte interlocking chandelier — it is not an authentic Poliarte original. We make this clear out of respect for the original designers and for our customers.
— A short history —
Verona, 1955
Poliarte was founded in Verona, Italy — not on the island of Murano itself, but as one of the postwar Italian glass houses working in the Venetian tradition. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Poliarte produced lighting that defined Italian Mid-Century Modernism alongside Venini, Mazzega, and Vistosi.
The interlocking concept
The original Poliarte interlocking chandelier broke from the traditional Murano cascade by treating each glass element not as decoration but as architecture. Cups of alternating amber and clear glass slotted into each other through a precision chrome grid — a modular, almost playful geometry that anticipated by decades the Memphis-Milano sensibility of the 1980s.
Today, in tribute
Original Poliarte pieces now command four-figure prices on the vintage market when they appear at all. The Lucia is our tribute — produced today using traditional Italian glassblowing technique, in the form Poliarte made famous, at a price accessible to homes outside the gallery and auction-house circuit.
— The amber —
Warmth, suspended.
The amber cups are coloured at the molten stage — iron oxide and copper introduced into the glass batch, then hand-blown and shaped. When lit from within, amber turns honey-gold, casting a warm pool of coloured light that no white-glass chandelier can reproduce. This is the Lucia's signature: a fixture that warms a room not just in temperature but in colour.
— The clear —
Light, undisguised.
The clear cups are pure crystalline blown glass — alternating with the amber to create rhythm and visual contrast. Where amber holds and softens light, clear releases it: bare illumination through transparent glass, an honest acknowledgement of what a chandelier actually is. The interplay between the two reads as conversation, not chaos.
— The grid —
Geometry, in chrome nickel.
The interlocking glass cups are held by a precise chrome-nickel grid — the structural language that distinguishes Mid-Century Italian design from anything that came before or after. Where Murano-tradition chandeliers from earlier eras concealed their armature behind ornament, the 1960s Italian houses celebrated theirs. Poliarte led that move. The Lucia continues it.
The chrome-nickel grid is visually deliberate at every angle — viewed from below, it reads as a flower-like radial composition; viewed from the side, as a rhythm of vertical-and-horizontal lines holding cups in tension. The metal is electroplated chrome-nickel for cool reflectivity that complements rather than competes with the warm amber.
— The trick —
It rearranges.
Unlike most chandeliers — which arrive in a fixed configuration and stay that way for their lifetime — the Lucia's cups can be individually arranged by the owner. The interlocking joinery is modular: rotate a cup, swap an amber for a clear in a specific position, change the cup's angle relative to the grid. The result is a chandelier you can adjust over time, in response to the room or your mood.
This is the original Poliarte's most playful inheritance — the design assumes the owner is a participant rather than a passive recipient. We have preserved that feature faithfully.
— What to know —
Bulbs included.
Standard E12 warm-white LED bulbs ship with the Lucia — 2700K, the temperature that brings amber glass to honey-gold rather than flattening it to brown-yellow. Dimmable-compatible if you swap to dimmable E12 LEDs and a triac wall dimmer; at lower brightness, the Lucia becomes most atmospherically itself.
Single edition.
The Lucia is produced in one size — 12.6" diameter × 16.1" height. The proportion is deliberate, faithful to the original Poliarte: small enough for an intimate dining table or entry foyer, substantial enough to anchor the room. Hanging chain is 11.8" adjustable, extendable on request.
Hand-blown glass.
Each cup is produced by traditional Italian-tradition glassblowing technique. Subtle variations in shape, wall thickness, and amber-color intensity remain by design — these are the signature of hand-made glass. Your Lucia will be subtly different from photographs and from every other Lucia.
Professional installation.
The Lucia is hardwired — install via a licensed electrician with chandelier experience. The hand-blown glass cups are robust but should be unpacked and arranged with care after installation. Documentation provided for your installer.
— Where it belongs —
Rooms that remember the 1960s — or want to.
Over a walnut Italian Mid-Century dining table with leather sling chairs, the Lucia centres the room with vocabulary the era expects — chrome and glass, amber and walnut, geometry and warmth.
In a Hollywood Regency vignette — fluted velvet, lacquered surfaces, brass cocktail bar — the amber-and-chrome palette belongs entirely. The interlocking geometry adds the layer of Mid-Century playfulness Regency interiors often lack.
In a small entry foyer with a vintage sideboard and a single statement mirror, the Lucia reads as the deliberate object the space deserves — a "where did you find that" piece, not a stock accent.
For cafés, wine bars, and small-scale hospitality projects, the Lucia is built to read as designer-curated rather than catalogue-ordered — particularly effective in Italian, Mid-Century, or vintage-modern hospitality concepts.

— Questions —
[ 01 ]Is this an authentic Poliarte chandelier? +
No. The Lucia is not an authentic Poliarte original product — it is a design tribute to the iconic Poliarte interlocking chandelier of 1960s Verona. Authentic vintage Poliarte pieces from the original era are sold through specialist auction houses and vintage dealers, typically priced from $3,000 to $8,000+ depending on condition and configuration. The Lucia honours the original's design language — same interlocking geometry, same amber-and-clear glass alternation, same chrome-nickel grid — produced today using traditional Italian glassblowing technique at an accessible price. We make the distinction clear out of respect for Poliarte's original designers and out of fairness to our customers.
[ 02 ]Can the cups really be rearranged? +
Yes — this is one of the Lucia's signature features. Each cup is held in the chrome-nickel grid by interlocking joinery; cups can be rotated, repositioned, or have their orientation changed by the owner. We recommend installing the chandelier first, then experimenting with the arrangement after it is hanging — handle each cup carefully (hand-blown glass), make small changes at a time, and step back to view the composition. Most owners settle into one preferred arrangement and rarely change it; others adjust seasonally. Both approaches are correct.
[ 03 ]Is the glass genuinely from Murano? +
The Lucia is produced using the Murano-tradition technique — hand-blown, batch-coloured glass shaped using methods passed down through generations of Italian glassmaking. We are transparent about the distinction in fine residential lighting between certified-Murano (from designated Italian houses, priced at $8,000+ per fixture) and Murano-technique pieces (produced in equally qualified glassblowing studios, accessibly priced). The Lucia is the latter — true hand-blown glass, true Italian-tradition technique, faithful to the Poliarte aesthetic, priced for actual homes rather than gallery installations.
[ 04 ]Where does the Lucia work? +
The Lucia is a small-statement piece — 12.6" diameter places it firmly in accent territory rather than centerpiece. Ideal: small dining tables (4-seater up to 6-seater), entry foyers, vintage-vignette corners, café and wine-bar installations, designer-studio offices, Hollywood Regency dressing rooms. Not ideal: large dining rooms (8+ seaters), grand foyers, double-height spaces — for those, our larger Stella or Aurelia configurations are better-scaled. Hang the lowest point 30–36 inches above any surface it is centred over.
[ 05 ]How fragile is it? +
Hand-blown glass is more robust than most people expect — substantially thicker-walled than a wine glass or a typical light bulb, designed to be handled during arrangement. Normal household conditions pose no risk. Avoid: striking it directly, dusting with hard tools, repositioning while bulbs are hot. Reasonable: routine dusting with a feather duster every 2-3 months, occasional cup re-arrangement with the lights off, gentle wipe with a barely-damp soft cloth followed by immediate drying.
[ 06 ]Can I dim it? +
Yes — strongly recommended for atmospheric use. The included E12 LED bulbs are non-dimmable. To enable dimming: replace with dimmable E12 LEDs (widely available, $8–15 each) and wire through a compatible triac wall dimmer. At 30–40% brightness, the amber cups shift from full-illumination to a deep honey-glow — the canonical Italian-mid-century-restaurant atmosphere the original Poliarte was famous for creating.
"Tribute design is about taking an object out of the museum and putting it back in the home. The Lucia is our offer to anyone who has admired Poliarte from across a gallery rope but cannot bring it home at gallery prices."
