Vintage Opaline Table Lamp Daruma by Sergio Asti for Candel, Italy, 1960s

About the Item

A perfect night stand lamp designed in 1969 by Sergio Asti and produced by Candle. It is a first edition produced by the Candel company and not by Fontana Arte. Composed of 2 opal glass hemispheres, it is inspired by the Japanese votive figure "Daruma". "Daruma" is the founder and first patriarch of Zen and is depicted in small rounded wooden dolls, which thanks to their low mass center of gravity always remain standing even if they are pushed. The fact that this doll always stands up makes it a symbol of optimism, constancy and strong determination. This lamp has been included in the permanent collection of MOMA of New York.

  • Italian Post Modern Table Lamp made in Murano Glass in the style of Umberto Riva
    By Umberto Riva
    Located in Roma, IT
    Splendid Postmodern table lamp produced in Italy by the "Punto Luce" company using glass made by Murano glass artisans. This is an "atmosphere" lamp and not a reading lamp. The dimmable halogen bulb releases a light that is softened and tinged with pastel colors by the shaded and colored Murano glass. The lamp is essentially composed of two modules: The first is a base in light gray overlaid with white Murano glass, decorated with thin iron gray lines. This has a conical shape and houses the halogen bulb inside. The second is a large shaded Murano glass lampshade. Its concave shape, like an upside-down hat or a serving plate; unlike normal "lampshades" which force and direct the light into a cone, this diffuses it upwards, widening its radius. A heavy black enamelled metal base stabilizes the weight of the lamp making it very stable. The style of this lamp recalls the elegant and essential 80s lamps...
