Bruno Gecchelin (Milan, 1939) trained at the Olivetti studio directed by Ettore Sottsass before opening his own studio in 1976, working in furniture and lighting design for O-Luce, Skipper, Arteluce, iGuzzini and Reggiani. The “Gesto Terra” was designed in 1974 for Gruppo Skipper as part of his Gesto family of fixtures, and this large-scale arched version is a rare variant of the more common columnar model with indirect light, bringing the format to a full architectural scale.The lamp’s structure rests on a rectangular white marble base with a recessed handle — a distinctive Gecchelin detail — supporting two parallel tubes in polished chrome-plated steel, bent to form the arc. A bracket at the midpoint of the arc secures the two tubes together; the terminal head features an elongated diffuser.
This extra-large arched version of the “Gesto Terra” is the rarest of the versions. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
from
misattribution,
European Plug (up to 250V).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
