Angelo Lelli (Italy 1911-1979)

Metal structure body with lacquered base with oxidised steel magnetised lamp/ball. 61.5cm high

‘Cobra’ lamp for Arredoluce, Italy. 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 magnetized “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 substantial feel and weight 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 bulb).

Price: 7.500 euro

Diesel Living with Foscarini (2000s)

‘Hexx’ table lamp. Diesel. 2014.

38cm wide / 58cm high.

Innovative contemporary design lamp – The Hexx table lamp comes from the union of two different hexagonal prisms made of perforated sheet metal superimposed so that the screens of the two elements do not coincide. The simple idea using two internal bulbs (each with its own switch) leads to an optical effect know as ‘moiré’ – that creates a fascinating geometric play of light.

The Hexx lamp was quick to sell out and is rare to find nowadays, and has become something of a design collector’s piece. It was produced in a range of just three colourways – this version in lightly sprayed green combines with the metal to give it a contemporary industrial look.

Price: 995 euro

model 3 desk lamp

Model 3 desk lamp. Metal & lacquered wood.

_Originally designed in the 1926, a few limited productions of the design were manufactured in the 1970s. This particular lamp is a very rare 1970s production that was the most faithful to the original series of only 8 lamps that were made. This version has wooden black and white sections (like the original). It has a screwed in metal plate around the two switches (like the original) and a cleaner top edge (without a plastic protector shield that some versions have)

(please note that this is not a DS 23 Huszár lamp)

VP-Europa lamp. 1970s

Verner Panton (Denmark 1926-1998)

VP-Europe lamp. 1977. Manufactured by Louis Poulsen in the late 1970s.

Chromed plastic foot with moulded glass shade. The lamp’s name Europa derives from the series of lighting designed by Verner Panton for the hotel Europa in Lugano.

This large table lamp has a diameter of 48cm and a height of 63cm which is particularly big for a table lamp. The main component is a mouth-blown shade made of clear and frosted glass. The red painted lamp cap produces beautiful light effects within the lamp.

This lamp was only produced over a short period of time which when combined with the complexity of moulding the glass shade make it one of Verner Panton´s most rare and sought-after lamps.

Price: 2,995.00 euro
