Original edition, hard to find.
Metal, brass and methacrylate lampshade.
Measurements: 44 x 44 x 44 cm.

Table lamp of Space Age aesthetics, with the hemicycle foot in chromed metal attached to a cylindrical foot that acts as a counterweight to the semicircular lampshade in white methacrylate. This is a piece of futuristic aesthetics, refined and daring, in vogue during the post-war period.

Founded in Milan in 1946 by designer Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo immediately attracted the attention of the Milanese art scene, as evidenced by a review in Gio Ponti's Domus magazine, the silver medal at the 10th Triennale in 1954 and the Compasso d'Oro award for the Braccio lamp in 1955. Thanks to collaboration with designers of the stature of Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo and Gae Aulenti, to name but a few, the company produces lamps that have entered the Olympus of design icons. New solutions, innovative materials and cutting-edge technology make Stilnovo a point of reference for designers and lovers of timeless design.
