Velella lamp by flos, designed by brothers achille and pier giacomo castiglioni in 1967.
the white opaline glass diffuser has a distinctive dome shape reminiscent of a jellyfish.
the velella is one of the castiglioni brothers' masterpieces for flos and is considered a classic of 1960s italian design. Its innovative lighting system for its time originally featured a dual light source: fluorescent for diffused lighting and incandescent for warmer, more direct illumination. The visible bulb has an e27 socket, while a circular 32w neon light is mounted internally.
this lamp can be used as a wall sconce or ceiling light, making it extremely versatile for a variety of spaces. Its clean, minimalist shape fits perfectly in both modern and vintage-inspired interiors, while maintaining a strong decorative character.
the lamp is in excellent condition and retains its original functionality. The opaline glass shows no chips or signs of wear, maintaining its milky transparency. The surface is perfectly smooth and uniform, without scratches or dullness, except for a few light marks near the lamp holder.
