About the Item

When thinking of chromed laps from the mid-century period it's hard not to remember Goffredo Reggiani, the obscure yet famed italian entrepreneur and light designer. All charachterised by the use of futuristic lines, high quality materials and fine craftsmanship, his lamps are immediately recognizable; and despite many of them arrived to these days without the label, it is quite easy to attribute a lighting piece to the genius of the designer. The lamp we're offering for sale is indeed one of the "anonymous" ones, but we're sure no one will have to argue if we attribute it to the Brianza-based manufacturer. It ticks all the boxes to be considered Reggiani's work, including three spherical "Sputnik" style lamp shades, magnets to hold, tilt and orientate each lamp, a high-quality chrome coating that is merely showing some signs of the years despite the age and an overall futuristic look typical of Reggiani lamps. The condition is thoroughly very good original: it has only been rewired recently, to replace the worn out original wires. It is now perfectly functioning, as are the three light bulbs, with E27 socket and a chrome coating on the upper half of the glass. There is no damage overall and no visible signs of use apart from the expectable patina of a 50 years old chromed lamp. At Spinzi Milano we have a huge selection of mid-century lighting and special object that add value to your spaces , feel free to browse and get in touch with us for a wider selection !

Reggiani

Founded in Italy in 1957 by Goffredo Reggiani, whose family still runs it, Reggiani Illuminazione today is an international company recognized as one of the world’s foremost producers of LED fixtures. Along with Venini and Kartell, the firm was part of the Italian design renaissance that took place in the middle of the last century, introducing exuberant new forms and colors for modern interiors. While Kartell and Venini specialized in plastic and glass, respectively, Reggiani has always focused on lighting, pioneering innovative technologies for every type of illumination, from wall sconces to track lights.

Reggiani rose to prominence in the 1960s with its introduction of sleek, sophisticated lighting fixtures made from wood, glass, and metal. This pair of sconces with frosted glass shades is typical of the firm’s early offerings, combining the warmth of teak — very popular at the time, thanks to the success of Danish modern furniture and accessories — with a futuristic silhouette free of embellishment. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, Reggiani’s chandeliers and pendant lights grew increasingly adventurous in design. Its Space Age line, featuring vivid hues and bold geometric forms, such as the cluster of spheres in this Sputnik chandelier, reflect the contemporary fascination with the space race, which influenced the design, popular culture and even fashion of the era. Inthe late 1970s, Reggiani began using acrylics in pieces like this bright orange table lamp.

Starting in the 1970s, the firm introduced the first low-voltage line of halogen lamps in Europe and, in the 1980s, debuted the Downspot. The first fully adjustable recessed electric lighting fixture, the Downspot became a popular design for track lighting, enabling architects and designers to customize illumination as never before. Today, Reggiani is at the forefront of LED lighting. In 2009, it launched the LED Luce system, which is now used in a variety of public spaces, including libraries, museums and showrooms. The firm’s Ambar fixtures were chosen for Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’s installation at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.
