‘Rabarbaro’ Three-Leaf Floor Lamp by Carlo Giorgi for Bottega Gadda, Italy, 1971

About the Item

A spectacular and rare sculptural floor lamp designed by Carlo Giorgi for Bottega Gadda, Italy, circa 1970s. This impressive piece features three large rhubarb-shaped leaves in gilt, patinated brass, each meticulously hand-embossed using traditional repoussé and chasing techniques. The leaves are mounted on elegant, slender stems that rise from a circular base, creating a naturalistic composition that blends organic inspiration with refined artistry. The result is a luminous sculpture that provides soft, indirect lighting while commanding attention as a statement piece. The rich, aged patina enhances the lamp’s sculptural depth and highlights the exceptional craftsmanship that characterizes Bottega Gadda’s production. Founded by Carlo Gadda, the atelier became renowned for translating natural forms into functional art objects. Giorgi’s collaboration with the studio led to some of its most iconic creations, often inspired by botanical elements such as rhubarb, ginkgo, and wisteria leaves. A true collector’s item, this floor lamp is a testament to the elegance and creativity of 1970s Italian decorative arts—perfect for sophisticated interiors with an appreciation for timeless design.
