Designed in 1986, the Alibaba floor lamp is a quintessential example of Italian Post-Modernism. Created by the Milanese duo Raul Barbieri and Giorgio Marianelli for Tronconi, this piece combines industrial precision with the bold geometric language of the 1980s. Featuring a sleek metal column and a distinctive reflected-light diffuser, it provides powerful yet soft indirect illumination. A rare and collectible specimen of the historic "Milano" design scene.
