The Maria S.C. chandelier is a striking piece crafted from laboratory test tubes arranged in two metal bands. Its combination of surprising materials and geometric shapes renders the lamp both classic and modern, evoking Art Deco forms in a unique, contemporary manner. This innovative use of ready-made objects is reminiscent of Marcel Duchamp’s ideas. Named in honor of the Polish scientist Maria Sklodowska-Curie, a Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry, the chandelier features detachable tubes. This allows for a variety of arrangements, offering numerous options for visual experimentation.

This lamp is designed for dry indoor spaces and should be protected from water and humidity. Always disconnect the lamp from the electric supply before changing the bulb or cleaning. The metal rings can be cleaned with a dry cloth, while brass components should be treated with a professional brass cleanser.

You can enhance the aesthetic of the chandelier by filling the test tubes with plain water or adding food coloring for a decorative effect. Feel free to experiment with seasonal plants and flowers, ensuring the total weight remains under 1 kg for safety reasons.
