The piece

Layered Glass Petals · Tiered Cascade · Copper-Frame

A chandelier built from layered curved glass petals shaped like lotus leaves — each one cut and curved by hand, then arranged in tiers around a central column. The petals descend in graduated layers, with the widest at the top tapering down to smaller leaves at the bottom — an inverted-pyramid silhouette that reads from every angle in the room.

When lit, light passes through the colored glass in successive waves, casting a layered pattern across the ceiling and walls. The result is sculptural rather than directional — a piece of architecture that adds presence without crowding the space below it.

20 Heads ∅ 90 × H 45 cm ∅ 35.4" × H 17.7" 21 glass pieces · ~31 kg / 68 lb

Suspension: Two adjustable rod sections ship with each fixture (12" + 15.7" / 30 cm + 40 cm), combining to a maximum 27.6" / 70 cm rod length — shortenable on installation to suit your ceiling height.

Not for sloping ceilings. This chandelier is designed for flat horizontal ceiling installation. The layered glass arrangement requires a level suspension to hang properly — it should not be installed on sloped or vaulted ceiling planes. For angled installations, contact us about alternative fixtures.

Which size suits my room? +

The 8-head (∅ 55 cm) suits standard 4–6 person dining tables and medium foyers. The 12-head (∅ 67 cm) anchors larger dining rooms and living rooms. The 16-head (∅ 82 cm) is a statement piece for high-ceiling foyers and grand entryways. The 20-head (∅ 90 cm) is the largest — best for double-height stairwells, ballroom-scale rooms, and 12 ft+ ceilings where the full cascade reads.

Can I install it on a sloped or vaulted ceiling? +

No — this chandelier requires a flat horizontal ceiling. The layered-glass arrangement only hangs correctly when suspended vertically; on a sloped ceiling, the petals would shift out of alignment. For angled or vaulted installations, contact us about alternative fixture types.

How heavy is it? +

Weight scales with size: 10 kg (22 lb) for 8-head, 16 kg (35 lb) for 12-head, 22 kg (49 lb) for 16-head, and 31 kg (68 lb) for 20-head. The 16- and 20-head versions are substantial — confirm with a licensed electrician that your ceiling junction box and structure are rated for the load before installation. A standard residential junction box typically supports up to 50 lb; heavier fixtures need a fan-rated or reinforced box.

How many bulbs does it take? +

One bulb per head: 8, 12, 16, or 20 bulbs depending on your size choice. All take E12 (North America) or E14 (EU/UK/AU) candelabra base bulbs (the smaller chandelier socket, not standard E26/E27). Up to 25W each. We recommend warm white (3000K) LED candelabra bulbs.

Will the colored glass affect the light color? +

Yes — the tinted glass acts as a soft color filter. Green glass casts cool forest-toned light, pink casts warm rose-toned light, amber casts golden honey-toned light. Clear glass is the most neutral, simply refracting white bulb light. All four options work especially well with warm-white (3000K) LED bulbs to bring out the color depth.

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.
