Mid-Century Italian Teak and Brass Lamp attributed to Stilnovo, 1960s.

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This rare Italian mid-century chandelier, attributed to Stilnovo, epitomizes the design principles that made the brand iconic in the 1950s and 60s. Crafted from brass and black varnished metal, it features a striking modernist aesthetic characterized by clean lines and a focus on function. The chandelier’s design showcases a harmonious blend of materials, with teak semi-circles elegantly framing matte glass globes, which serve as diffusers, softening the light and creating a warm, inviting ambiance.
The minimalist form, defined by simple geometric shapes such as spheres and cones and the juxtaposition of natural wood with industrial metal, is quintessentially Stilnovo. The black and brass elements offer a bold contrast, a hallmark of the brand’s approach to color and material. The chandelier's sculptural quality, combined with its functional design, reflects the mid-century modern ethos, making it a timeless piece that adds sophistication to any space.
The chandelier is in great original condition with some signs of patina on the brass and faded varnish. However, considering its long history, these slight signs of age do not detract from its aesthetics but rather add character.

Chandelier requires three E14 bulbs.

About the Maker

Stilnovo

Italian lighting manufacturer Stilnovo was founded by designer Bruno Gatta in 1946 in Lainate, an industrial suburb of Milan. In response to the aftermath World War II—at a time when Italy was focused on rebuilding under conditions of scarcity—Gatta dedicated Stilnovo to the production of innovative lighting elements that embody rationalist, form-follows-function principles.

In the postwar era, designer Gaetano Sciolari took on the role of in-house designer. As economic recovery swept through Italy, Stilnovo became known as a prestigious and cutting-edge brand for both public and private spaces.

In the mid-1960s, Bruno’s son, Dino Gatta, had the idea to invite some of the best designers of the day to develop new products, and Stilnovo became a hotbed of progressive design ideas and a laboratory for material experimentation. Standouts from this futuristic era include the Periscopio Floor Lamp (1967) by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi, the Treiedo Spotlight (1970) and the Topo Adjustable Wall Lamp (1970) by Joe Colombo, the Lucetta Table Lamp (1970) by Cini Boeri, the Fante Desk Lamp (1978) by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, and the Valigia Desk Lamp (1977) by Ettore Sottsass. Many Stillnovo pieces were exhibited in MoMA’s landmark Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition in 1972.

Massimo Anselmi, an art director from the worlds of fashion design and contemporary art, acquired Stilnovo in 2012 and launched re-editions of iconic Stilnovo designs at Salone the following year.
