Table lamp
This rare table lamp, produced in Italy during the 1960s, exemplifies the bold experimentation and sculptural innovation characteristic of mid-century Italian design. The lamp features an intricate arrangement of white plastic panels configured into a starburst-like structure, creating a dynamic geometric form that diffuses light in a visually striking manner. Mounted on a solid black marble base, the piece balances the lightness of plastic with the weight and solidity of natural stone, enhancing its sculptural presence.
The lamp is equipped with a dimmable function, allowing for adjustable brightness to suit different moods and settings, adding versatility to its aesthetic appeal. The condition reflects its vintage status, showing minor wear consistent with its age. The marble base remains in good condition, while the plastic panels have developed a slight patina, contributing to the lamp’s authentic character without detracting from its overall integrity. The structure is well-preserved and fully functional.
Although the designer is unknown, this lamp fits within the Italian mid-century tradition of pushing boundaries with new materials and bold, sculptural forms. Its dimensions—63 by 63 by 68 cm (approximately 24.8 by 24.8 by 26.8 inches)—make it a commanding piece suitable for spaces seeking a statement object that merges design innovation with artistic form.
