The slamp company, still in business, revolutionized the concept of home lighting in the mid-90s making it dynamic, less serious and lighter, not only for the use of technopolymers used to produce its articles but also conceptually. The series of tube lamps produced in 94 by slamp thanks to the collaboration with alessandro mendini is a real breaking point in the history of italian lighting; in the era in which the dining room chandelier was still an immovable and heavy element in home furnishings, slamp began to produce totemic-shaped lamps at a competitive price, very light and unbreakable, they play on both sides with graphic elements of pop art, posterin and graffiti. Our "butterflies" lamp, currently out of production, is one of the thousand variations produced of the tube series, but it shows unusual free form applications added to the classic white totemic shape that can be moved and positioned as desired thanks to the central rivet. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
