Pair of “Quadro di Luce” Table Lamps by Gio Ponti for Pollice, Italy, 1960s

Creator: Gio Ponti (Attributed)
Offered by: MA+39

Description
Designed by Gio Ponti for Pollice, this rare pair of Quadro di Luce table lamps exemplifies Ponti’s poetic approach to light as an architectural element. Each lamp is conceived as a luminous frame, combining a white lacquered metal structure with suspended, polished brass panels that appear to float within the square outline. When illuminated, the brass surfaces reflect and diffuse light, creating depth, warmth, and subtle movement rather than direct glare. Sculptural yet rigorously geometric, these lamps function equally as lighting objects and abstract compositions. They are emblematic of Ponti’s late-modern vision, where form, space, and light engage in a refined and intellectual dialogue. An important and collectible design, ideal for both contemporary and historically informed interiors.
