The work
The Duo Facies in stainless steel and alabaster Murano glass renders the chandelier’s duality in its most contemporary and cool-toned register.
The geometric silhouette is divided into two equal faces, one composed of alabaster patterned Murano glass panels whose clouded, organic surface filters and warms ambient light with a soft, stone-like luminosity, the other from high-polished stainless steel panels whose mirror-bright, silver surface reflects that same light with sharp, contemporary precision. The warmth of the glass and the coolness of the steel exist in a dialogue of complete and studied opposition, each one making the other more precisely itself.
Craftsmanship & Making
Every piece is entirely handcrafted by a select group of skilled artisans. The polished stainless steel frame is meticulously hand-finished and mirror-polished in multiple stages. Each alabaster Murano glass diffuser is individually hand-formed and expertly selected before being fitted by hand into the frame. Every piece is shaped and finished by hand, so slight variations in patina and grain are inherent to the work and are the mark of an original.
Every Palena piece is made to order. Your dedicated contact will confirm a precise timeline at the point of enquiry.
