Ceiling lamp

This ceiling lamp, produced in Italy during the 1950s and by an unknown designer, exemplifies the understated elegance and organic sensibility characteristic of mid-century Italian lighting design. The piece is defined by its soft contours, muted tones, and careful attention to material texture and light diffusion.

The shade is delicately fluted, tapering gently from the top to the base in a form reminiscent of a blooming flower or softly draped fabric. This organic silhouette contributes to a warm, sculptural presence that is both functional and visually calming. The surface of the shade features a subtle texture that enhances its naturalistic quality, adding depth and softness to the overall form. When illuminated, the neutral-toned material filters the light evenly, producing a warm, ambient glow ideal for creating atmosphere in intimate spaces.

The fixture is suspended by a newly added twisted cord, chosen to harmonize with the vintage aesthetic while offering modern standards of durability and safety. The cord’s texture and tone complement the shade’s gentle form, reinforcing the lamp’s tactile and cohesive visual language. An antique brass ceiling canopy anchors the composition with a refined metallic accent, adding a note of patinated warmth without detracting from the shade’s prominence.

This lamp is particularly well suited for spaces that prioritize softness and subtlety in lighting—such as dining rooms, bedrooms, or quiet living areas. Its combination of mid-century Italian craftsmanship and contemporary updates ensures it functions as both a timeless design object and a reliable lighting solution.

The shade measures 30 cm in diameter and 40 cm in height, while the total suspension height including the cord is 160 cm. In imperial units, this equates to approximately 11.8 inches in diameter, 15.7 inches in shade height, and 63 inches in overall height.
