Drawing from the classical baroque shapes and materials Stefan Rath creates a new interpretation of the glass arm chandelier. He takes the lightness of the classical glass arm chandelier and over-exaggerates this by using musseline-thin glass, more common with our stemware lines.
The archives of our family report that the scarcity of precious metal between the world wars drove Stefan Rath to the so well-mastered material glass. Interestingly 200 years earlier a scarcity of metal coined just a simmilar design for the summe palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy at „Schloss Hof“. Thus he created another modern classic in a timeless fashion.
