It's hard to find a home that rivals that of Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills masterpiece, designed by the acclaimed Stephen Shadley. Her retreat marries mid-century charm with Japanese-inspired luxury, but nowhere sets this tone quite like her entryway – or, even more specifically – her entryway lighting.
Designed by Italian designer Tony Zuccheri for Venini, her beautiful fixture is a Murano glass 'Tronchi' chandelier – defined by its hand-blown, textured glass tubes (often called 'tronchi,' meaning 'logs' in Italian) suspended in multiple tiers from a metal frame.
Aniston previously stated that the Murano glass chandelier just inside her entrance was one of the first items she purchased for her house, and it's easy to understand why. I've written about celebrity homes for over four years, and it's first entryway lighting piece to properly stop me in my tracks.
The exact piece is currently available at Pamono, but there are some more stunning alternatives at 1stDibs. I particularly love this Vintage Venini Tube Chandelier (from 1stDibs), similarly inspired by Jen's stunning piece.
Designed by Paolo Venini, this Murano glass tube chandelier is a match to the one in Jen's entryway. It's an Italian, mid-century classic, designed to make the ultimate statement in the first room of your home.
This spectacular piece is composed of layered glass elements arranged in an elegant tiered cascade. Each hand blown tube features Venini’s signature textured surface, subtly rippled with organic vertical striations that beautifully catch and diffuse the light.
This chandelier is made of thin tubes designed in the style of Murano produced in Italy by Venini. It features thin, elegant, hand blown glass tube elements, just like Jen's – making the the perfect entryway piece.
A more affordable alternative to Jen’s, this chandelier perfectly balances timeless elegance with modern glamour. Its three cascading tiers of clear, textured glass panels come alive when illuminated, while the radiant gold metal frame adds a luxurious finishing touch.
Showcasing a striking tiered silhouette, this chandelier is adorned with translucent oval glass elements that bring refined sophistication to any entryway. When illuminated, it casts a soft, inviting glow that leaves a lasting first impression.
Inspired by the natural beauty of icebergs, the design features cascading crystal bars that drape gracefully into a tapered silhouette, creating a luminous and sophisticated focal point, just like Jen's.
Unsurprisingly, I am not alone in my love for Jen's lighting idea.
'There’s a reason this chandelier feels immune to more fleeting design trends' comments Hebe Hatton, our Head of Interior Design. 'The Tronchi isn’t about ornamentation, it’s about material honesty. The iconic Murano glass tubes create rhythm and depth without relying on sparkle, which gives the piece longevity. In Jen's home, that sensibility aligns perfectly with design shaped by Stephen Shadley.'
Hebe continues: 'Her home values balance, craftsmanship, and calm, and the chandelier quietly reinforces all three. It bridges mid-century modernism and a more meditative, almost Japanese minimalism. As an entryway statement, it doesn’t shout, it grounds the home, which is precisely why it still feels so current.'
Whether you’re drawn to its sculptural elegance or the warm glow it casts, this chandelier proves that thoughtful design never goes out of style. For those looking to bring a touch of Jennifer Aniston’s timeless entryway into their own home, the Tronchi is a reminder that investing in craftsmanship is always in fashion. There's no better way to make a first impression that resonates.
