Table Lamp Model 'Bricola' by Federica Marangoni for ITRE, Italy 1975

Creator: ITRE
Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
In 1971, Gio Ponti commissioned Federica Marangoni to create a lighting installation for the Euroluce exhibition in Turin. The resulting artwork, an impressive piece standing two meters tall with a diameter of one meter forty, featured a central cylinder housing three fluorescent tubes. Surrounding these tubes were five cone-shaped plexiglass components, all encircled by a black ring. The "Bricola" table lamp is a smaller version of this installation and was originally produced in a limited edition of fifty pieces for Centro Domus in Milan.

One of these lamps is part of the collection at the Design Museum della Triennale di Milano. From 1980 onwards, ITRE, a lighting company based in Salzano, took over the manufacturing of the "Bricola."

Design
The design exudes simple elegance. It features a black round polyester top with raised edges serving as the base, supporting five conical Murano hollow glass rods. These rods lean against the fixture, held together by a black metal ring. The unique white decoration within the glass, known as variegato, is a special Murano technique.

Condition
This piece is stunning both when illuminated and when off, and it remains in excellent condition without any noticeable flaws. It has the original ITRE label still on it.
