The work
The Duo Facies in bronze and textured Murano glass makes the chandelier’s founding philosophy of duality fully visible.
The geometric silhouette is divided precisely, one half formed from deeply textured handmade Murano glass panels that diffuse and scatter light with a rich, multi-dimensional warmth, the other half from high-polished bronze panels that catch and refract the same light with a golden, mirror-bright radiance. The two halves are in complete and deliberate opposition, yet the composition reads as one unified object, a chandelier that is simultaneously translucent and reflective, warm and brilliant, organic and architectural.
Craftsmanship & Making
Every piece is entirely handcrafted by a select group of skilled artisans. The polished bronze frame is meticulously hand-finished and mirror-polished in multiple stages. Each Murano glass diffuser is individually hand-formed and expertly selected before being fitted by hand, with the contrast between the reflective metal and the luminous glass central to the composition. 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.
