Exceptional Space Age style floor lamp. It is composed of a solid round brass base, under which there is a cast iron weight that firmly stabilizes the lamp. Three tubes are attached to the base, also made of brass, which branch upwards and curve at different heights. At their top there are three precious Murano glasses with a lenticular shape, in an elegant, refined and unique whole. The lamp is equipped with a foot switch; with one button only the central light turns on, with the other the other two. The arrangement of the lights allows for excellent and uniform illumination of the room. The lamp is characterized by an elegant and minimalist design, made with excellent quality materials. It was created between 1960 and 1965 in a workshop in Monza (Lombardy, Italy). The craftsmen were inspired by the style of designer Goffredo Reggiani with the desire to create an object of large dimensions favoring the idea of practicality and linearity. We know for sure that the architect Reggiani made use of Lombard artisans of recognized skill for the construction of his objects, who used very refined materials also because the objects were mainly intended for the apartments of the rich Milanese bourgeoisie. Our lamp, with its characteristics of quality, accuracy and finish, was certainly made by those master craftsmen. The prolific and important Italian designer Goffredo Reggiani (1929-2004) founded his company in the city of Monza, Italy, in 1957. He designed most of the lamps himself, often using brass, chromed metal and steel, giving his creations a Scandinavian look. Reggiani lamps feature clean lines and fluid curves, offering bright, diffused light. His lamps have become cult objects for design enthusiasts and collectors, thanks to their aesthetic beauty and quality craftsmanship. The style of the lamp is Space Age, an aesthetic movement born at the dawn of the space age, commonly attributed to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957. The space age design captured society's optimism and faith in technology in the 50s and 60s. The design exploded into a variety of styles and movements, giving space to roundness, freedom of shape and movement, lightness and simplicity. The lamps of that period are characterized by essential volumes that recall geometric shapes that definitively break with the rationalist tradition. The materials are cold, shiny and metallic. Our lamp with a simple and essential design hides an ingenious, innovative and practical soul, ready to diffuse light according to our needs; it will easily fit into any context of the home thanks to its timeless elegance. The electrical system is functional but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other countries must always be checked by an electrician before use.
