Space Age Italian Floor Lamp with Chromed Metal Tubes in the Style of Goffredo Reggiani, 1970s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Offered for sale is a rare and attractive floor lamp in chromed metal, made in Italy around the first half of the 1970s. It is perfectly representative of the Space Age style of those years, inspired by the clean, futuristic aesthetics of space explorations, rockets and sci-fi movies.

Despite being unlabeled, the lamp might well be an original design of Goffredo Reggiani, the famed lamp designer and manufacturer celebrated for his avant-garde creations rendered in chromed metal with tubular shapes. If not, the inspiration is however certainly there - and well noticeable.

The lamp features nine interconnected metal tubes, holding a total of seventeen light bulbs. The cylinders are juxtaposed in a seemingly random yet geometrical way, with right angles defining a rigid space grid. They can, however, be arranged more freely according to one's taste.

The fixture is perfectly working, and has been inspected by a certified electrician who - on occasion - replaced the cable, switch and plug with modern ones to ensure flawless functioning.

About the Creator

Goffredo Reggiani

Not a lot of biographical information is available on the Italian lighting designer and entrepreneur Goffredo Reggiani, however it can be surmised that he was particularly active in the lighting sector during the 1950s throughout the 1970s.

Reggiani founded his eponymous lighting factory in Brianza, Italy, a region known for its tradition in industry. In his designs, Reggiani utilized mainly chrome, as well as opaline glass and teak, to create Space Age designs, such as sputnik style chandeliers, globe-shaped table lamps, and floor lamps with trumpet-like diffusers. During the 1970s, Reggiani developed the first range of low voltage halogen lamps in Europe.

Today, the company is still in operation, creating interior and exterior lighting for both the private and public sectors.
