Lignano Sputnik Chandelier

The piece

Chrome · Colored Acrylic · Sputnik Silhouette

Radiating chrome arms tipped with white opal globes — the classic Sputnik silhouette, given a modern twist by a disc of vibrant acrylic at the center. Playful yet architectural, equally at home over a dining table, anchoring a modern lounge, or crowning a stairwell.

Installation

Hardwired ceiling installation — a licensed electrician is recommended, especially for the 6-head and 8-head configurations.
Fits a standard round ceiling junction box. All mounting hardware is included.
Wire length is adjustable — your electrician can cut the wire to the exact drop you need. The default is 150 cm / 59″.
Recommended minimum ceiling height: 2.7 m (9 ft) for 3/5/6-head; 3.0 m (10 ft) for 8-head. Over dining tables, keep 75–90 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the fixture.
Suitable for indoor dry and damp locations. Not rated for wet/shower zones or exterior use.

FAQ

Which bulbs do you recommend? +

E26 (North America) or E27 (EU/UK) medium-base LED bulbs in warm white (2700K), 6–8W each (≈60W incandescent equivalent). Frosted or opal globe-shape bulbs blend cleanly with the glass shades; clear filament bulbs give a more vintage, sculptural look.

Which configuration should I choose? +

The 3-head and 5-head share the same 60 cm diameter — choose the 5-head for more light output in the same footprint. The 6-head (72 cm) suits medium dining rooms and living rooms. The 8-head (82 cm) is a statement piece for larger open spaces, long dining tables, or double-height entryways.

Can I shorten the hanging wire? +

Yes. The 150 cm / 59″ wire can be cut and terminated by your electrician during installation to match your ceiling height. Unlike chain pendants, the wire is a continuous cable — trimming is a standard step in wiring a hardwired fixture.

Is the fixture dimmable? +

The fixture itself is compatible with dimming. Pair dimmable E26/E27 LED bulbs with a TRIAC-compatible dimmer switch (e.g. Lutron, Leviton Decora). Standard non-dimmable bulbs will run at full brightness only.

Can I install it on a sloped ceiling? +

Yes — because the fixture hangs from a flexible wire, it naturally aligns itself vertically regardless of ceiling angle. Ensure the junction box and canopy are rated and oriented correctly for the slope.

How do I clean the chrome, acrylic, and glass? +

Iron: wipe with a soft microfiber cloth; a slightly damp cloth for fingerprints, then dry thoroughly. Acrylic disc: mild soapy water only — avoid solvents, alcohol, and abrasives, which can craze or dull the surface. Glass shades: once cool, wipe with a lint-free cloth; remove if needed for thorough cleaning.

Care & delivery

Looking after it

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.

Who makes it

This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.

We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.

Delivery

Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.

Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.

Returns

You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.

Damaged or faulty on arrival

Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.

Installation

Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
