Stilnovo
Though Bruno Gatta (1904–76) founded Stilnovo way back in 1946, it is still one of the most instantly recognizable names in lighting. Gatta began his business in Milan, and, like many European creatives designing furniture and decor in the wake of World War II, Stilnovo leaned toward the new wave of mass-market and streamlined styles. In fact, Stilnovo loosely translates to “new style” in Italian, and vintage Stilnovo lighting has endured as a practical choice for those looking to bring innovative and forward-thinking design into their homes.
Soon after Stilnovo was established, Gatta’s lighting fixtures were applauded throughout Europe for their novel industrial materials as well as their unique yet functional shapes. Italy in the 1950s was forming a completely revolutionized look, and Bruno Gatta and Stilnovo’s head designer, Angelo Gaetano Sciolari, helped shape it. When the 1960s arrived, Stilnovo was experiencing such a boom that the company opened a new production plant in Lainate. One of the brand’s most famous pieces, Giovanni Luigi Gorgoni’s quirky 1965 Buonanotte spherical table lamp, became a best seller.
Gatta partnered with some of the most well-known names in design, including Ettore Sottsass, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo and Gae Aulenti. Sottsass’s pieces for Stilnovo, including the 1977 Valigia four-legged table lamp, the 1968 Lampros chandelier and Manifesto ceiling light, and the Castiglionis’ 1957 Saliscendi pendant light fixtures are some of the brand’s most recognizable to date. In 1978, De Pas, D’Urbino and Lomazzi designed the Fante lamp with an adjustable reflector that playfully recalls a broad-brimmed hat.
Stilnovo’s designs, including Danilo and Corrado Aroldi’s flexible Periscope table lamp, were featured in the 1972 exhibition “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” at the Museum of Modern Art. While Stilnovo continued to operate with new designer collaborations after Gatta’s death, it closed its doors in 1988. Italian art director Massimo Anselmi acquired the company in 2012 and rereleased several of Stilnovo’s most celebrated pieces. Then in 2019, lighting giant Linea Light Group purchased Stilnovo and relaunched its classic designs with contemporary touches like LED lighting systems.

- 20th Century Luigi Caccia Dominioni Floor Lamp model LTE5 Imbuto for Azucena 50sBy Luigi Caccia Dominioni, AzucenaLocated in Turin, TurinFounded in 1947 by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella, and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua, the Italian brand Azucena has always stood out for its collections that combine formal elegance, understated luxury, pure aesthetics, and craftsmanship. The brand, which the architects call Azucena after the name of the gypsy from the theatrical opera Il Trovatore, is created both to collect some of their furniture designs for use in furnishing the buildings they designed and, conversely, to be able to produce individually some furniture that is part of furniture series they designed. Here the famous Floor Lamp model LTE5 so called "Imbuto": the name of this lamp also very clearly explains the inspiration from which the shape originated: a funnel. However, in this object of the funnel only the name remains. The lampshade is a metal cone that extends toward each other thanks to a thin stem from which a wide halo of light comes out. Originally the design also had another name, namely "flûte." This shows that Luigi Caccia Dominioni's ideas came from simple objects but also from rarer instruments. The humble funnel meets the sophisticated flûte, an instrument that collects and guides water alongside another that holds wine and champagne, one functional and one exceptional, one made of plastic or metal and one of crystal: this was Caccia Dominioni's world, in which the exceptionality of everyday life and the most special moments coexisted. With its essentiality and functionality, the Imbuto lamp...Category
