The “Bellagio” chandelier is inspired by the renowned Bellagio Center, known for cross-cultural exchange and intellectual collaboration. The chandelier features golden clouds that symbolize the power of shared inquiry and the strength of collaborative thinking. As viewers ascend the grand staircase at the Rockefeller Foundation, they are symbolically rising out of the tranquil waters of Lake Como, creating a captivating visual experience. The illuminated clouds that grace this chandelier cast amber reflections that play upon the surrounding lava stone. These reflections, reminiscent of the warm hues of Italian terra cotta roofs, transport viewers to the town of Bellagio. It is a celebration of the timeless harmony between man-made and natural elements. “Bellagio” stands as a beacon of collaboration, a testament to the power of shared ideas and to the enduring legacy of the Bellagio Center.
