Large Studio B.B.P.R 'Polinnia' Glass and Metal Pendant c. 1964 for Artemide. Executed in nickel-colored metal and pressed glass and designed by the Milan-based collective B.B.P.R. After World War II, the practice played an important role in the promotion of Rationalism in both architecture and design. The Studio was one of Artemide's first collaborations with consultant designers. Their incredibly refined designs have long been sought after by informed collectors of midcentury Italian lighting.
