It features a theatrical, avant-garde silhouette characterized by an iridescent, multi-tonal metal post that transitions elegantly between golden and rose-bronze hues. The iconic shade is comprised of vertically suspended, curved slats of vibrant cobalt blue glass that encircle the light source in a dynamic, spiral arrangement. Cordero’s work is celebrated for its deconstructivist influences and artisanal edge, resulting in a fixture that feels like a functional sculpture, diffusing light with an ethereal, jewel-like glow.


Standing at a commanding 76.5" tall with a 12" diameter top and a 9" diameter weighted base, this lamp provides a striking vertical presence suitable for a sophisticated gallery-style living space or a designer home office. It is in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs and a beautiful age-appropriate patina to the metal finish that underscores its authentic character. The original glass slats remain vibrant and structural. This rare piece of Italian lighting history is a must-have for collectors of high-end Postmodern design.
