Studio A.R.D.I.T.I. for Sormani Floor Lamp Model 'Ponte' made of Marble & Metal

About the Item

A large ''Ponte'' (Bridge) floor lamp designed by Gruppo A.r.d.i.t.i. for Nucleo Sormani during the 1970s. This space age lamp is made of two marble bases connected by two thin chrome stems which create a modular arc where three swiveling balls made of black and translucent Lexan stand creating a beautiful and futuristic effect. This floor lamp is in very good working vintage condition and it retains the original manufacturer label under one of the marble base. No restoration work has been done, it is completely original. Gruppo A.r.d.i.t.i. was an Italian design group known for their unique and innovative approach to furniture and interior design. Their work is characterized by a combination of modern and traditional elements, resulting in pieces that are both functional and visually striking. The group was founded in the 1950s by Italian designers Gino Sormani and Bruno Polli, who were both influenced by the post-war architecture and design movement known as "neorealismo." This movement focused on incorporating practical, everyday materials into design, resulting in a distinct aesthetic that is still evident nowadays. Nucleo Sormani has created numerous furniture and lighting designs that have been exhibited at prestigious design shows such as the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Dimensions: 400x30x240 cm (DxWxH) Adjustable both in length and height.
