Description
Important Italian Mid-Century Modern hand blown glass light sculpture called 'Vacuna' for use as floor lamp or table / desk lamp designed by Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva for Artemide, 1968.
Vacuna was an innovative piece. It united light sculpture with a functional table lamp. It united the craft blown glass world of Murano with the manufacturing processes of Milan. Most importantly, the object itself was ephemeral, mysterious and beautiful with it's center or almost white glass and it's sides and back of progressively clear glass. The piece was highlighted with a silver tipped bulb which reflected light inward back on the glass.
Peduzzi-Riva/ Artemide's "Vacuna" is rare and out of production.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
