Angelo Lelli (Italy 1911-1979)
‘Cobra’ table lamp. Metal structure body with lacquered base with oxidised steel magnetised lamp/ball. 61.5cm high. Arredoluce, Italy.
Designed in 1962 by Italian light designer and founder of Arredoluce Angelo Lelli. This table lamp/sculpture model ‘12919’ known as ‘il Cobra’ by the workers at Arredoluce for its association with the form of the snake has pivoting black oxide steel magnetised “eyeball” socket set into what is in effect a midcentury biomorphic standing sculpture.
The quality of manufacture of these lamps is outstanding – they have a good weight and substantial feel to them. This one is completely original and in superb condition (no deterioration of the original finish as is common with these lamps, and with original plug and bayonet fitting bulb).
Price: 7.450 euro
