The structure is composed of two brass arms: the lower arm rises from a solid stone base and terminates in a pivot joint, to which the upper arm supporting the lampholder is connected. This articulated construction allows for height adjustment and lateral rotation, enabling precise positioning of the light according to specific functional and decorative requirements. For ease of handling, a practical integrated handle is located on the upper arm, opposite the lampholder. The switch is positioned on the upper surface of the substantial base, ensuring both stability and convenience of use. The design, balanced and linear, stands out for its refined compositional symmetry and sophisticated adjustment system, expressing an advanced technical solution typical of the most progressive Italian manufacturers of the period. The perforated conical diffuser, characterized by a wide flared profile, partially shields the light source, producing a soft, warm, and enveloping illumination. The execution, attributable to a high-quality artisanal workshop active in the Lombardy area (Milan–Brianza), can be dated between 1960 and 1965. The design language and construction techniques clearly reflect the research and experimentation of leading Italian lighting companies such as Stilnovo, Arredoluce, and Arteluce, making this lamp a fine example of the golden age of Italian lighting design. This piece possesses significant decorative and collectible value, successfully combining function, engineering, and aesthetic research in a formally refined balance. It integrates seamlessly into modernist, mid-century modern, contemporary, eclectic, and minimal-chic interiors, while also enhancing classically inspired spaces reinterpreted in a modern key, where it can serve as a sophisticated focal point, enriching the environment with character and personality. The lamp is in good overall condition. Dimensions: Width 22 cm (8.66 in), Depth 78 cm (30.71 in), Height (adjustable) 135 cm (53.15 in). See less
