About the Item

Mario Vento (20th Century, Italy) Rare Momo Floor Lamp, 1970 Manufactured by New Lamp, Rome An exceptional and rare example of radical Italian lighting design, the Momo floor lamp was created by Mario Vento in 1970 and produced by New Lamp, one of Italy’s most innovative lighting manufacturers of the era. Featuring a satin steel structure and three stacked white Perspex cubic diffusers, the lamp’s sculptural form speaks to the artistic experimentation of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Both functional and highly expressive, the Momo exemplifies New Lamp’s commitment to blending art and design. Documented in: Ferrari, F. & Ferrari, N., Luce: Lampade 1968–1973: il nuovo design italiano, Umberto Allemandi & C., Turin, 2002, fig. 99 (similar model). Dimensions: 52 x 52 x 216 cm / 20.5 x 20.5 x 85.4 in. About New Lamp: Founded in Rome in 1968 by Mario and Gianni Vento, New Lamp (briefly known as Art Lamp) collaborated with artists, architects, and designers to create lighting that pushed the boundaries of form and function. Inspired by movements such as Kinetic and Concrete Art, and referencing Art Deco motifs, their handmade designs were often produced in very limited editions—some in quantities as low as one to six pieces. Though short-lived, closing in 1973–1974, New Lamp left a lasting impact with its sculptural, forward-looking lighting featured in key design publications including Domus, Abitare, and Casa Vogue.
