Piece of Italian modernism of rare beauty, a table lamp dating back to the 1970s that stands out for its formal elegance and unique color palette.
Design and Architecture: The structure is distinguished by its sculptural minimalism: a flat circular metal base with a satin/burnished finish extends from a sinuous, curved tubular stem. This "swan neck" line lends the object a lightness and dynamism, typical of the stylistic research of the period (in the Arteluce or Stilnovo style).
The Glass (The Fine Detail): The true protagonist is the artistic glass lampshade. This is no ordinary glass; rather, it features a refined workmanship with concentric relief stripes that diffuse the light in a soft, textured way. The touch of class that makes it truly rare is its color: the top part (the cap) is made of Intense Purple/Amethyst glass paste, which blends or contrasts with the transparent/satin lower part. When turned on, the lamp creates a suggestive atmosphere: the warm light filters downward, while the upper part glows a deep purple, creating a striking visual effect.
