Unusual, extraordinary and exciting floor lamp by Toni Cordero. Very interesting combination of different materials. Toni Cordero was born in Lanzo Torinese in 1937. He took his architecture degree in Turin, and in 1962 opened his first design office. His architectural work includes Turin’s ”Delle Alpi” stadium with the collaboration of Hutter, Ossola and Majowiecki, a building based on advanced timber technology in Turin’s Mandria Park in 1997 and the Staff International factory in Noventa-Vicenza in 1996. Among his many important interior design projects we can cite: the Olivetti head offices in Ivrea (1997); the chain of Kenzo boutiques in Europe and the USA (1981); the renovation of the Gio Ponti Montecatini building in Milan, and the conversion of a London place of worship into an apartment hotel and gallery; the 1983 restorations of the Hotel Splendido...

A special, poetic and currently out of production Floor Lamp designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for the Italian company " Flos " during the 80s.

Stem in black enamelled aluminum, surmounted by a dimmable halogen lamp; a pair of acid-etched glasses encloses and shields the bulb. The magic and mystery comes to the head of this 80s Floor Lamp...

A very stylish and iconic vintage floor lamp designed by Tobia and Afra Scarpa. This is the Papillona lamp made in Italy by Flos in the 1970s. This is in amazing condition and has an amazing design that is typical of design by Tobia & Afra Scarpa. It is predominantly black lacquered metal, with red trim running through the centre and a textured glass shade. There is a dimmer built in halfway up the lamp shaft, and it takes halogen bulbs. This is a beautiful piece of art that would work in any mid century modern or post modern space. Brings in a pop of color with its red trim while still being subtle enough to work well in any bedroom, living room, or office space. Brings in a warm light that can be easily dimmed to set any space to your liking. Dimensions: 10"W x 10"D x 76"H About the Designer: Widely recognized as superstars of postmodern Italian design, husband-and-wife team Afra and Tobia Scarpa (1937–2011; b. 1935) collaboratively created chairs, sofas and other furniture that work equally well in both traditional and cutting-edge environments. Ranging from architecture and interior design to furniture and clothing, the Scarpas’ practice from its beginnings in the mid-1950s to the 21st century has included a diverse scope of projects combining new technology with thoughtful function and sculptural yet simple forms. Afra Bianchin and Tobia Scarpa met as architecture students at the Università Iuav di Venezia. In a class led by architect and furniture designer Franco Albini, they created their first collaborative piece, the Pigreco armchair, later produced with Gavina. After graduating in 1957, Tobia worked for Murano glass company Venini & Co. before the couple opened a studio in Afra’s hometown, Montebelluna, in 1960. (Tobia, the son of famed glass artist and architect Carlo Scarpa, was born in Venice.) For Afra and Tobia, a close collaborative process was pivotal to the success of their designs. The duo was also prolific — they designed for the most influential European manufacturers, including B&B Italia, Cassina, Knoll and FLOS. With respect to the latter, Afra and Tobia were among the legendary Italian lighting maker’s earliest collaborators, and their pioneering designs for the brand included the Papillon lamp...
