About the Item

Pendant lamp with structure in lacquered metal and brass and five diffusers in opaline glass. This lamp was manufactured by the Italian company Stilnovo during the 1960s. Stilnovo was an important lighting company founded by Bruno Gatta in 1946. Stilnovo is a significant part of the first wave of post-World War Italian design companies specializing in the production of innovative, functional lighting. At its most productive between 1950 and the late 80s, Stilnovo worked with a number of Italy’s leading designers after Bruno Gatta, Danilo and Corrado Aroldi, Gaetano Sciolari, Alberto Fraser, Joe Colombo and Ettore Sottsass. Coming at a time when the idea of function was combined with new types of materials to produce pared and texturally novel forms, it was an era of experimentation, where the neo-realism movement tussled with the philosophy of organicism, and where architects borrowed from, subverted and discarded the artisan based craft-art that had for centuries been Italy’s dominant creative force. Often compared favorably with Arteluce, which, under the guidance of Gino Sarfatti, explored abstract, lineal forms, Stilnovo is known for its well-executed organic lines. The Aroldi-designed 1967 Periscope desk lamp is a case in point. Exhibited at New York’s New Domestic Landscape 1968, its snake-like lines are tempered by its enamel finish, creating an effect that is both restrained and alive.

Elio Martinelli Step Chandelier in White Lacquered Metal by Martinelli Luce 70s
By Martinelli Luce, Elio Martinelli
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
A rare ceiling lamp or chandelier (model Step) with a semisphere lampshade in white lacquered aluminum, it was designed by Elio Martinelli and produced by the Italian company, Martinelli Luce during the 1970s. The concentric shapes repeated in a precise sequence, from which the Step lamp is structured, reveal an attitude of the designer in search of geometric essentiality. It is a lamp characterized by simple and functional lines in which all the elements are inserted into each other reducing to a disk a few centimeters high, with closing system and telescopic opening. Its particular metal lamellar structure recalls some of the most famous lamps by Alvar Aalto and the hexagonal lamp designed in 1959 by Bruno Munare for Danese.
