20th Century Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno LT8 Sky-Ground Lamp 1960 Brass and Neon

About the Item

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 designed for ENI (italian agency of energy) in '60s, then produced for Tecno. The lamp has a structure in painted metal, the light is neon, Neon floor lamp. Floor or ceiling mounting. The lamp can be at its maximum 377 cm high. Fully working, fully original, patina of time. Published in: G. Bosoni, Osvaldo Borsani, architetto, designer, imprenditore, Skira, 2018, p. 596 The light can be rewired for US standards upon request.
