Giogali is a collection of glass lamps born from a simple yet revolutionary design concept: a single modular crystal element, the hook, capable of creating endless lighting arrangements. Designed in 1967 by Angelo Mangiarotti for Vistosi, the collection is one of the most recognisable icons of Italian design, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of the Venetian chandelier tradition.

The design is based on a single hand-crafted glass module, which can be linked together in sequence to create crystal chains and lighting structures with free-form, dramatic shapes. From this principle emerges a fully modular system: the hooks intertwine to create compositions reminiscent of cascades of light—light and dynamic—capable of adapting to different spaces and architectural contexts.

The collection’s name derives from the Venetian term “giongher”, the strap used in the countryside to tie the cart to the yoke. This reference to tradition becomes a metaphor for the design process, in which the act of joining the elements generates the entire lighting structure.
