But beyond their carefree, relaxed attitude and you discover that, actually, they are almost all deeply serious, food, fashion (all Italian octogenarian will be understood that the research simply cool in a canary-colored suit mohair is not easy) and refined architecture, art and design.
One of the world's enduring legacy in several models, which he is justly proud, is the transformation of the lighting of the functional object to a form of art a masterpiece Design in harmony with technology and engineering. Nothing is more what modern chandelier lighting.
Italy has been lighting the way since the end of World War II, when a series of talented Italian industrial designers, whose brothers Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Gino Sarfatti and Pietro Chiesa, funded by families of small entrepreneurs reinvigorated Italian lighting design and started a movement that makes her the more desirable in the world. In rethinking the function and form of restructuring using new materials and shapes the future, they captured the mood of blood the nation to produce witty, elegant classics such as the minimalist "Luminator" (1955), 'Toio' (1962) and Richard Sapper "Tizio" (1972).

Over time, advancements in technology and engineering resulted in a lighting increasingly powerful and with it the capacity to transform the mood of any architectural plan, warm and comfortable in the avant-garde Contemporary. Designers now enjoyed the freedom to perform all sorts of new possibilities, and lighting glass in particular has been elevated to a "sculpture".
The beating heart of glass lighting design and production has been and is still Venice. Hospitality Industry popular Murano glass, named after the islands where it is done, they were hand-blown glass shades and for crystal droplets for more 200 years. Indeed, the chandeliers of Murano glass is the pinnacle of Italian glass made with their intense colors, designs and versatile durability. New treatment of glass were the drawings are also incredibly strong which means they can exist in places where glass designs have already been too fragile.
With developers eager to pursue more creative and jaw-dropping ways to play with light and color, it was a matter of time until they exploited the qualities of refraction of Swarovski crystals. Daniel Swarovski revolutionized cutting crystal in 1892 to produce a product of unsurpassed beauty, appreciated for its versatility, brilliant radiance and bright. Crystal is used in some of more show stopping chandelier lighting designs featured in the most exclusive areas in the world.
