a refined example of italian mid-century modern design, characterised by a simple, essential form and the extraordinary quality of murano glass craftsmanship.

the diffuser is made of fine layered glass, with a magnificent glossy yellow finish on the outside and a diffusing white interior.

the special craftsmanship enhances the purity of the form, producing a warm, pleasantly diffused light.

the glass is attributed to maestro martinuzzi, a prominent craftsman in the murano tradition, who also collaborated on the creation of works by artists such as marc chagall, le corbusier, henry moore and pablo picasso.

the lamp is in excellent vintage condition. The glass is intact and shows no cracks or chips. The original metal parts show only minor signs of wear, consistent with the age of the item, as can be seen in the photographs.

the electrical system has been completely renewed, and the lamp is equipped with a new steel suspension cable, making it ready for installation and use.

designed for an e27 bulb – 220v. Also compatible with e26 bulbs for the usa – 110v. Bulb not included.
