About the Item

The Partenope lamp is an iconic work by Neapolitan designer and architect Riccardo Dalisi. This wall lamp stands out for its sculptural design and handcrafted approach. Its shape evokes a sinuous female figure, almost a mermaid, with a reference to the mythological Partenope, founder of Naples. The lamp is made of copper and verdigris, handcrafted using techniques reminiscent of traditional Neapolitan craftsmanship. The body of the lamp features curved, sinuous lines that create a sense of movement and dynamism. Light diffuses through a perforated glass or metal diffuser, creating striking plays of light and shadow. Dalisi's work is within the framework of radical Italian design, with a strong focus on the expressive and poetic aspect of objects. The Partenope lamp is not only a lighting source, but a real light sculpture, capable of furnishing and characterizing the environment. With certificate of authenticity issued by the Dalisi Foundation
