Gianfranco Fini “Programma” light sculpture for New Lamp, Italy ca. 1970

About the Item

"Programma" light sculpture by Gianfranco Fini for New Lamp, Italy ca. 1970. A rare and one of the boldest light sculptures from the innovative radical design studio New Lamp (Rome, 1969–1973). The story of ‘New Lamp’ all started with the “Programma.” Gianfranco Fini created the design in the late '60s and was looking for a workshop capable of fabricating this complex light sculpture. That’s when he met Mario Vento, who ran a small specialized metal workshop with skilled local Roman craftsmen. A period of intensive cooperation and dialogue followed, with a very successful result. Fini came up with new ideas; Vento was impressed by Fini’s artistic talent, which created a vibrant atmosphere of collaboration—and ‘New Lamp’ was born. The lamp consists of a large stainless steel square frame, an internal grid holding 100 shutters, a methacrylate diffuser panel, and a light system behind it. The shutters can be arranged in any preferred position, creating an endless optical composition, and a spectacular contrast of light and shadow. Due to this striking feature, the "Programma" strikes a balance between kinetic art and design. Even when turned off, the lamp serves as a stunning minimalist kinetic art piece. It can be switched on or off using the original switch on the bottom. A maximum of one hundred examples of the Programma were ever made. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the New Lamp archive. The lamp has been expertly cleaned and polished, with all original components remaining in excellent authentic condition.
