He was one of the Italian designers renowned for his mid-century modern lamps. Born in the early 20th century, Sciolari, the son of a family of Italian illuminators who had been producing lamps since 1892, began designing for the Italian manufacturer Stilnovo in the 1950s. It was there that he created his most recognisable and celebrated work, a series of multi-light chandeliers made of shiny, matt metal, evoking futuristic visions of the dawning space age, such as our five-light ceiling lamp. Luxurious chandelier creations began to gain prominence and popularity in the United States during the 1970s, a decade in which his style began to look towards an aesthetic inspired by Art Deco and Space Age.
Founder and president of the association of Italian lighting manufacturers, Sciolari is today one of the most sought-after names for his collector's pieces, such as the Habitat, Cultura and Futura series.
