Rare Italian Mid-Century Table / Desk Lamp in style of Ettore Sottsass

Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
A Rare Italian Mid-Century Modern Table / Desk Lamp in style of Ettore Sottsass circa 1970. The piece is an early for-runner of post-modern work executed before the advent of Memphis Design. It combines a sober design form with the frame in gray steel while utilizing 2 plastic (perspex) reflectors, the lower one in white and the top round one in violet. These colors combined with its original yellow rubber electrical cord provide subtle drama while maintaining a pure modern form. The result is a captivating and functional work of art and design.
