Spiral Shaped Table Lamp in Pink-Colored Murano Glass, Italy 1950s

About the Item

The lovely shape of the twisted Murano glass and the pink that slightly tends to red as soon as the lamp is turned on is an experience in itself. The technique used to create this lamp is called Sommerso Oro. It is a technique in which blown glass objects are given multiple layers. These layers usually have different colors and the effect is achieved by dipping the object several times in molten glass of different colors. This produces very thick and heavy glass objects. Sommerso literally means 'immersed'.In addition to the attractive combination of the transparent glass and the pink-red core, it is also gold-stranded or gold-corded. The gold particles are diffusely spread over the foot and are located between the colored core and the transparent outer layer. Condition The condition of the lamp is very good, although the shade hasn’t really stood the test of time. The shade is of course easy to replace. The socket is of the E27 type.

An alumna of Politecnico di Milano, she has completed a series of prestigious projects during her long career spanning more than fifty years. For example, Aulenti was responsible for redesigning the Musée d'Orsay and creating a space for the Musée National d'Art Moderne in the Center Pompidou in Paris.In addition to these projects of an architectural nature, Aulenti has managed to leave a mark in the world of interior design with a multitude of furniture, lamps and objects. Many of these objects starred as backdrops in films and advertisements. Take, for example, the Locus Solus garden set in the 1969 classic La Piscine with Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and a young Jane Birkin. This will be an indelible memory for a design-loving audience. Design Aulenti made this table lamp called Poveglia for Vetreria Vistosi. An Italian manufacturer specializing in decorative lighting made of blown glass. The lamp consists of two separate parts.
