Venice: Hotel Liassidi Palace: Franco Fornasier – Illusion chandelier


Venice: Hotel Liassidi Palace: Franco Fornasier – Illusion chandelier. In the setting of the fifteenth century Palazzo Zorzi-Liassidi, now the Liassidi Palace Hotel, until September 29, Illusion is a surprise, magic in a hand blown carbon fiber chandelier by maestro glassblower Franco Fornasier.   It is a cross between art, design and technology in a site-specific installation where light is diffused and conducts a dialogue with the spaces of a Venetian salon while other senses are brought into the experience as well. It channels light and radiates pure sound of glass vibrations.  Each element has been manually tuned to attain acoustic perfection.  A true surprise.
