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 with Foscarini

‘Hexx’ table lamp. Diesel Living, 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
