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.

- Studio Salvatori for Nucleo Sormani Rare Prototype 'Model 4 ' Table LampBy Sormani, G. Salvatori & A. BazziniLocated in Waalwijk, NLStudio Salvatori, (G. Salvatori, A. Bazzini) for the Nucleo Division of Sormani, lamp, model ‘4’, aluminum, silk-screened plexiglass, Italy 1971 Rare prototype of the model ‘4’ table lamp, designed by G. Salvatori and A. Bazzini for the Nucleo Division of Sormani. This wonderful lamp is a great example of the technical advances in lamp design in Italy, starting in the late 1960s. It represents an imaginative response to the availability of translucent plexiglass sheets. The use of plexiglass opened a whole new range of possibilities in the field of lamp design. The material has the transparent quality of glass, while at the same time being less fragile and therefore less dangerous in use. It also has a very specific way of transmitting the light, which appears to be passing through the sheet slower than through glass. Together with the almost hallucinating pattern in the plexiglass, that is lit from below by four bulbs, this lamp has hypnotizing qualities. The family-owned company Sormani was established in 1961 in the northern Italian town of Arosio. At the end of the sixties, the firm distinguished itself by its avant-garde furniture and furnishings in plastics. Richard Neagle was among the first using vacuum...Category
