Floor lamp

This floor lamp is a rare Italian design from the 1950s, combining functional adjustability with elegant material use. The structure is executed in brass, giving the piece a warm golden tone with a refined patina from age. The stem is height-adjustable, allowing it to extend between 153 cm and 200 cm, anchored by a circular weighted base. Decorative ribbed detailing at the base and midsection enhances its vertical lines while reinforcing the lamp’s balance.

The shade is crafted from sprayed plastic stretched over a wire frame, forming a scalloped, flower-like profile. With a diameter of 55 cm, the shade diffuses light softly and evenly. When illuminated, it produces a warm, ambient glow, emphasizing its sculptural character. The material choice reflects mid-century experimentation with modern plastics, while the form retains a classical sense of symmetry and proportion.

This lamp is an excellent example of Italian mid-century lighting, where modernity and elegance were harmoniously combined. Its use of brass and innovative shade material aligns with the era’s broader trends of material exploration and sculptural form. The condition is excellent, with minor traces of age consistent with careful preservation.
