About the Item

Elegant Mid-Century Floor Lamp – Black Painted Iron with Milk-Glass Shade in the style of Stilnovo. Dimensions: H 107 cm × W 28 cm × D 28 cm (approx. H 42.1” × W 11.0” × D 11.0”) Description: Elevate your living space with this refined mid-century modern floor lamp, its sleek tripod base crafted from fine black-painted iron converging into a minimalist yet sculptural form. Gracefully perched atop is a tapered milk-glass shade, gently diffusing light into a soft, ambient glow. The simplicity and elegance of this design channel the spirit of post-war Italian minimalism, striking a balance between understated presence and architectural poise. Key Features: Clean, geometric silhouette with balanced, tripod support Elegant opaline (milk) glass softens illumination for cozy yet sophisticated lighting Crisp black enamel steel offers modern contrast and visual lightness Ideal for corners, reading nooks, or refined gallery environments Why It Resonates with Stilnovo Aesthetics: Founded in Milan in 1946 by visionary designer Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo—literally meaning “new style”—helped define the face of modern lighting design in the post-war era, embracing minimalist lines, innovative forms, and industrial materials . Gatta fostered collaborations with iconic designers such as the Castiglioni brothers, Joe Colombo, Gae Aulenti, and Ettore Sottsass, resulting in lighting fixtures celebrated for their sculptural poetry and functional elegance . This lamp reflects Stilnovo’s ethos—melding simplicity with inventiveness, metalwork with luminous glass—and would complement a curated interior in the tradition of celebrated Stilnovo pieces like the “Alberello” floor lamp or streamlined tripod models . Collector’s Note: While not a documented Stilnovo production, the design language resonates strongly with the Milanese studio’s mid-century modern heyday. Especially appealing to lovers of Italian modernist lighting, this piece evokes the purity and cerebral elegance that modern collectors admire. About the Designer & Stilnovo Legacy Bruno Gatta founded Stilnovo in Milan in 1946, establishing a lighting firm that quickly distinguished itself within the Mid-Century Modern movement. The company’s moniker captured a bold break from tradition, and innovations in form, function, and manufacture followed . Stilnovo produced iconic designs such as the Saliscendi by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the Periscopio by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi, and Joe Colombo’s Topo, benefiting from a wave of recognition including a Compasso d’Oro award, exhibitions at the Milan Triennale, and inclusion in MoMA’s “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” in 1972 . The firm’s artistic direction was further shaped by Angelo Gaetano Sciolari, who helmed Stilnovo’s design atelier from the mid-1950s through the 1960s. Sciolari’s celebrated multi-arm chandeliers—futuristic, glossy, and luxurious—reinforced the avant-garde allure of the brand . Over its four-decade production run, Stilnovo made enduring contributions to Italian industrial design before ceasing production in the late 1980s. Its legacy was revived in 2019 when Linea Light Group acquired the brand, reissuing iconic lighting pieces and continuing the tradition of innovation . In Summary This floor lamp is a captivating embodiment of post-war Italian design ideals—functional, sculptural, and imbued with refined restraint. With its tripod black-painted iron support and soft milk-glass shade, it would resonate strongly with collectors and design aficionados familiar with the Stilnovo lineage. A timeless jewel for any modernist or mid-century interior. Colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings. Wear consistent with age and use. The table lamp will be shipped insured overseas in a custom made wooden crate. Cost of insured transport to the US is Euro 575 crate included if we take care of the transportation which we highly recommend.
