Voliere
Composed by Bodo Sperlein, Voliere is an opulent, eye-catching centrepiece with a dramatic, layered appearance, inviting an intimate atmosphere in even the most spacious settings.
This striking installation piece is a contemporary reinterpretation of a classic 1920s art deco chandelier. With its nod to elegant French art deco lighting design, Voliere’s intricately layered wood veneer elements are arranged in the manner of feathery plumes.

The Swirl pendant was accorded a Special Mention by the German Design Council. More
