Italian Mid-Century Pendant Light Attributed to Bruno Gatta fo Stilnovo, c.1950s

About the Item

For sale a fabulous vintage mid-century Italian ceiling light, attributed to Bruno Chiarini for Stilnovo, circa 1950s. Consisting of a teardrop shaped opaline cased glass shade with a black metal collar held in place by three brass studs and with a black metal & brass ceiling rose, the light is in good vintage condition with patina & wear consistent with 60+ years of age and use. Stilnovo: Since its birth in 1946, Stilnovo has become a renowned leader in the world of Italian mid-century lighting. Founded in Milan by the Italian-born designer Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo was created to provide the world with stunning lighting designs that blended form and function and immediately attracted the attention of the Milan artistic milieu, as evidenced by a review in Domus by Gio Ponti, a silver medal at the X Triennale in 1954 and a Compasso d'Oro award for the Braccio lamp in 1955. Thanks to collaborations with notable designers such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, Gae Aulenti, Angelo Mangiarotti and Ettore Sottsass, to name but a few, the company produced and still produces lamps that have entered the Olympus of design. From its inception, Stilnovo has been a leader in the realm of modern lighting. Its designs have become synonymous with the mid-century aesthetic, with many of its most iconic pieces still being produced today. Stilnovo’s collections range from minimalistic wall sconces to intricate and opulent chandeliers, all of which were crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Stilnovo’s timeless designs have become favourites of many notable designers and architects, including Gio Ponti, Carlo Mollino, and Richard Sapper. They have been featured in many of the world’s most renowned museums, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and The Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Today, Stilnovo continues to be one of the most revered and respected names in the world of lighting design. Its commitment to quality and innovation has made it a leader in the industry, and its timeless designs will be appreciated for years to come.
