The reduced version of Giogali, which allows the glass hooks to be used for smaller, standard or customised wall installations.

Fixture glass tube is purposely imperfect, frosted opal toward the top before raggedly giving way to perfect clarity by the base. Outer gloss gives them sheen, making for a mysterious and alluring diffusion effect as light comes blushing through from candelabra bulbs set perpendicular to each layer of glass tubes. fixture adds a 21st-century touch to a modernist classic.

The soft curves, leaf-like motifs, rich crystal garlands and flower-shaped cups evoking the sixteenth-century chandeliers. Its ornate arms and scrolls are cast by hand from family molds.

We bought this chandelier for our dining room. It is well designed and very balance. The crystals are shiny and split the light perfectly. I just wish it had more of those crystals on the upper portion of the chandelier so that it would look even more elegant.. Mohammad Kazemi. San Jose, CA. Sat Jun 02 2012

Glassmaking is an ancient art that tells of centuries-old knowledge, handed down from generation to generation by the love and passion of expert craftsmen who carefully hold a tradition of excellence. True icons of timeless beauty are born when know-how and craftsmanship meet design, to form a perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation. This is the case of the Giogali and Minigiogali collections designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1967 for Vistosi, the lighting brand that has brought glass to perfection. The Giogali lamp (Compasso d’Oro mention in 1969) introduced a new concept in the use of glass: a modular lighting system based on a single hand-crafted crystal element (a type of hook) that can be repeated indefinitely to give life to structures that appear like cascades of light. The hook is the basic module that constitutes the entire architecture of the Giogali system (name that derives from the Venetian “giongher”, or the strap used in the countryside to tie the cart to the yoke), Mangiarotti’s modern interpretation of the Venetian chandelier. Long-term research based on the innovation of traditional shapes generated the hook, which thus becomes the constructive element of the chandelier itself. The basic element can be hooked in a series to form crystal chains, which in turn can be combined to create unlimited formal designs, such as chandeliers of any size that become scenographic backdrop of rooms. Following a restyling of the product, Vistosi introduced the Giogali 3D version in 2005: a new type of hook in glass that allows it to be paired to rings in all four directions, so as to form a continuous mesh that allows great installation flexibility.

The Puppet Ring collection is based on the idea of creating a frame by combining rings with different diameters, on which crystal balls in three sizes are mounted. Extremely light and elegant, Puppet Ring ethereally combines crystal, smoked, amber and shaded white glass with gold and matt black nickel finishes. The collection has been enriched with two new pendants lamps whose large dimensions make them suitable for large spaces. The new configurations, Puppet Ring SP 7A, Puppet Ring SP 11 and Puppet Ring SP 15, maintain the great formal cleanness and extreme elegance while preserving the peculiarity of this collection, i.e. the ability to harmoniously combine traditional craftsmanship and technical research.

The Puppet collection by Vistosi expresses passion and artisan know-how. The undisputed focus is blown glass that is irregularly striped, an ancient manufacturing technique that has been known since Roman times and used for the manufacturing of Murano glass. Here, new magical forms come to life from the breath of master glassmakers. For Puppet, Romani Saccani Architetti Associati, former designer of the Diadema collection, has chosen the sphere, a symbol of perfection and union, a movement that has no beginning or end that remains immutable over time – much like the Puppet collection, which has become an icon of the Vistosi catalogue since its conception. The expressive research of Romani Saccani Architetti Associati is aimed at defining a strong, identifying sign that is conceptually simple, and therefore easily understandable. The result is a collection with a pure, immediate design, devoid of unnecessary frills. The latter allows diffusers to be fixed to the ceiling with steel cables as desired, creating ever-changing plays on light with the electric fabric cables that recall the wires that moved ancient puppets. The diffusers are available in four glass finishes with the possibility of mixing them together. The Puppet Ring collection, created in 2019, plays with spheres of different sizes, differing from the “classic” version for the use of a frame made up of rings of different sizes, single or juxtaposed, which form the base on which the precious glass spheres rest and blend with the structure with the shape blown into the glass itself. Three new configurations were added to the three suspensions already present: given their size, they are particularly suitable for large-scale environments. In the applique, a ring supports a larger sphere facing the ceiling and a smaller one facing the floor.
