Table Lamp In Murano Glass By Albano Poli For Poliarte, Italy 1970's

Table lamp in murano glass by Albano Poli for Poliarte.‍This table lamp can best be described as elegant with the class of a timeless design. The Italian glass artist Albano Poli is the man behind this creation, which is made of glass with a brushed steel metal fixture on top.The refined thing about Poli's creations is that they already possess a high degree of sculptural beauty. So when the lights are off, the glass catches natural light, creating a subtle effect of reflections. The spectacle naturally begins when the light sources are turned on.This model has eighty half-cubes made of Murano glass, each with a characteristic ripple. They are hollowed out inwards by about one centimeter and have a relatively high opacity, which makes it difficult to see through the glasses, but they absorb the light and, as it were, retain it. A degree of depth is created because the light is carried from cube to cube.A brushed metal plate covers the glass body and and is topped off with a ditto cylinder of seven centimeters. This is also the fixture where an E27 screw fitting can accommodate a lamp. The condition of the lamp is very good with minimal traces of use."
