Yellow Mod 551 Chandelier by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi

Description
Rare and sculptural Italian modernist chandelier designed by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi, produced in the 1960s. This striking twenty-light fixture features a dramatic spherical form composed of two lacquered metal hemispheres in a rich yellow finish, accented by warm brass detailing and perimeter-mounted sockets that create a celestial, orbital effect.

Twenty exposed bulbs radiate evenly around the globe, emphasizing the candlestick's bold geometric silhouette while providing generous illumination. Suspended from a brass stem with matching canopy, the design exemplifies Torlasco's playful yet refined approach to lighting, blending Space Age futurism with the elegance of mid-century Italian craftsmanship.
