20th Century Roberto Pamio Table Lamp mod. Gill 45 for Leucos, 60s
By Leucos, Roberto Pamio
Located in Turin, Turin
Roberto Pamio works intensively in the design world internationally. With the Pamio Architectural Studio and Pamio Design in Scorzè (VE), he ranges from architectural design, interior design and layout, industrial design and image architecture. In all his architecture, natural elements such as light, air and water are emphasized, making space fluid and changeable.
His creative sensibility led him to approach industrial design at a very young age, developing his own personal interpretation that has found full expression in lighting and interior design.
The knowledge of the material and the careful attention to detail that distinguishes his design objects has also been reflected in the realization of architectural projects, for a perfect fusion and synergy between space and furnishing needs.

20th Century Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno LT8 Sky-Ground Lamp 1960 Brass and Neon
By Tecno, Osvaldo Borsani
Located in Turin, Turin
Osvaldo Borsani in 1953, together with his brother Fulgenzio, realized his most complex project: a company idea named after the "techne" of the Greeks, which means both art and technique. Tecno thinking was born: the perfect synthesis between the artisan experience of the atelier and its declination on a larger scale.
Tecno is first and foremost an entrepreneur's project: Italy has begun its process of tertiarization; the office environment does not yet have its unquestionable formal definition, and that is where Osvaldo Borsani wants to get to: to reinvent for workspaces that mix of formal elegance, rigor and rational functionality that the modern movement had developed for domestic living.
Here the very wonderful sky-ground lamp...

20th Century Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni Table Lamp Taccia for Flos
By Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Flos
Located in Turin, Turin
Table lamp model "Taccia" designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1960s for Flos in extruded aluminium with painted metal reflector and mouth-blown translucent glass diffuser, and base in polished, nickel-plated and zapped steel; very good condition.
This project stems from Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni's desire to make a table lamp with indirect light. Following various studies, they made a prototype with an opaque white reflector made of plastic material and a supporting cup, also made of plastic material but transparent. After various experiments, they discarded the idea of using plastic material because of the deformations that were created to the reflector support due to the heat of the concentrated light source. The final prototype turns out to consist of a reflector made of aluminum lacquered in a matte white color in the convex part, polished in the concave part, and a support cup made of transparent glass resistant even to high temperatures.
Achille Castiglioni said in 1987: "This is an interesting lamp because of its history, and because someone today confuses it for a post-modern object...
