Albano Poli Poliarte Table Lamp in Glass and Metal Structure, 60s
-
Description
Albano Poli was born in 1935 in Verona, and since he was a boy he was interested in glass work and production. In 1968 he found POLI ARTE, where he produced his famous lamps that in glass identify a soul linked both to tradition and to the artist-designer's experience. Inspired by the masses of discarded glass from the Murano furnaces, usually transformed into split, shapeless blocks commonly called "gems," the master Poli thought of a glass that is no longer fragile and delicate like that of artistic stained glass, but solid and safe, a module that would allow the construction of works of art in step with the times, a metaphor for the multiplicity that together gives life to something unique.
Here we have an example of these types of lamps: a table lamp in a form of a semi-pyramid where the small blocks of glass diffuse the light in a particular way.
Good condition, fully original.
The light can be rewired for US standards upon request. -
