About the Item

Tommaso Barbi 'Conchiglia' (Shell) Floor Lamp, c. 1970 (Italian, 20th Century) Bottega Gadda, Italy An uncommon masterwork from the Italian designer Tommaso Barbi, the 'Conchiglia' (Shell) Floor Lamp, crafted circa 1970 by Bottega Gadda. This exceptional piece, fashioned in polished nickel, showcases a large-scale design standing impressively at 67.5 inches high. The well-cast clam shell, measuring 24 inches in height and 20 inches in width, is ingeniously illuminated from the rear by a single 60-120 watt standard bulb, creating an ambient glow that highlights its exquisite details. Elevated on a graceful organic stem and set upon a lap-over-edge base measuring 19 inches deep by 20 inches wide, this lamp embodies a harmonious blend of artistry and functionality. Tommaso Barbi's creation exudes elegance and quiet sophistication, making it a captivating addition to any interior space seeking a statement piece that merges organic design with practical illumination.
