About This Piece

Vintage Design

An exceptional Italian tripod table lamp from the 1950s. Historically known as a "television lamp," it was originally designed to emit a soft ambient light to rest the eyes.This very rare miniature version features a conical reflector in sage green lacquered aluminium—a beautiful and highly sought-after period colour today. The upper edge is highlighted by a brass ring, which perfectly complements the tripod base with its famous drop-shaped feet.Designed in the style of prestigious manufacturers of the time such as Stilnovo or Arredoluce, this iconic light fixture is presented in excellent vintage condition. It retains its original patina on the brass and its authentic lacquer, showing only a few discreet micro-points where the paint has chipped, certifying its 70 years of history.For discerning collectors, the electrical components are entirely original and fully functional. The lamp retains its ivory Bakelite olive switch, its period plug, and especially its exceptionally long 3-metre cable, ideal for installation anywhere.

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.
