Pendant 'Capri' by Alessandro Pianon for Candle, Milano. Alessandro Pianon (1931-1984) was trained as an architect and designer at the Architecture Institute in his hometown Venice.

Starting out by drawing the Vistosi logo, Pianon went on to design several lighting fixtures and the famous Pulcino birds for the company. After Pianon opened his own design studio in 1962, he got assigned by a number of other Italian lighting companies, like Lumenform (Venice) and Caprotti (Monza).
