At the exhibition "INTERIOR SHOW" -2008, which is organized in the Manege ID "Salon-Press", we met with the export manager of the company The Murrina Lorenzey Radritstsani and asked to show the most interesting thing on the stand. It turned out to be Mariposa - a unique chandelier designed by Paolo Piva.

Says Lorentz Radritstsani: "The name of this chandelier says - Mariposa (translated into Russian - "Butterfly". - SALON). Handmade Murano glass pieces suspended from thin steel threads resemble dancing moths from afar. This effect arises from the fact that in one chandelier are collected and completely transparent, and milky-white details. This gives an optical flickering effect. Steel threads are practically invisible, and it seems that glass ovals float in the air, like butterflies around a fire. Lamps are really inside, they very beautifully illuminate this airy, openwork design. Glass can be not only white, but also red and black. But if we talk about the size and shape, then there are an infinite number of options. The chandelier can be made to order for any size of the room, made, for example, in the form of a luminous wall, in the form of a cascade, column; architects can use it to partition functional areas, in general, for a variety of individual solutions.
