About the Item

Floor lamp Steel Luciano Baldessari Manufacturer / Brand : Luceplan Model / Name : Luminator Estimated period 1974 Italy very good condition - some wear and tear due to age 180×40×40 cm Weight 60 kg The Italian architect Luciano Baldessari (Rovereto, December 10, 1896 - Milan, September 26, 1982) designed the "Luminator Bernocchi" floor lamp in 1929, at the height of the futuristic era. The idea was to create a sculpture / lamp inspired by the whirl of a ballerina, indefinable and timeless. It was a time in history when - for strictly functional reasons of aerodynamics - industrial design focused exclusively on air and automobile transport. This product aimed to offer for the first time the opportunity to craftsmen and artists to become functional to Italian industrial production. It was at this time that the concept of a lamp with the function of a metal mannequin was first developed. The "Luminator Bernocchi" was presented to the public for the first time in Milan, in the "Bernocchi Pavilion" at the "10th International Fashion and Textile Exhibition", and then at the International Exhibition in Barcelona "EXPO 1929". The patent was issued in 1931. It was manufactured by "Luminator Italiana", a company specialised in floor lamps and indirect lighting, created at the end of the 1920s. It was then manufactured only on order by "Luceplan" at the end of the 1970s. The "Luminator" on sale here is a unique and rare piece. It is a prototype made before the industrial production in series. This prototype is different from the later mass-produced "Luminator" for its continuous red spiral without soldering. The later mass-produced lamps had the red spiral split into two pieces screwed together for easier transportation. 9900 euros.
