Ignazio Gardella LP5 Wall Lamp / Milanese Design of the 1950s Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This item is raw and sturdy. Its rugged textures and bold lines define that radical character. Its presence is uncompromising and captivating. This wall light by Ignazio Gardella was designed in 1954 and produced by Azucena. Current production was designed and manufactured in Italy. It is done in glass, brass and painted metal. Here the metal is rich in surface and reveals a wonderful patina. To keep the value of the item and its authenticity, the finish wasn’t overpainted, while the character of the surface was preserved in its original condition. Its surface is slightly waxed with beeswax, which protects it while presenting a natural, subtle gloss. The Industrial glass was used to illuminate the old trams in Milan. These wall lights are a timeless piece that embodies the Milanese design cleverness of the 1950s. The prismatic diffuser is supported by a brass structure. This allows the distribution of light rays to the room. The light creates a soft and domestic atmosphere. I think this piece blends well with many interior styles. It is an interesting detail due to its industrial character. P! Galerie’s selection is mainly focused on design masterpieces between 1918 and 1970. Apart from rare French mid-century modern design artefacts by Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand, our offer includes masterpieces of historic importance and value by Gerrit Rietveld, Lina Bo Bardi, Marcel Breuer, Oscar Niemeyer, or, for example, Eileen Gray. Following all ethical and juridical requirements, all items from our carefully curated collection come with a certificate of authenticity. We try to preserve as much of patina as possible during the process of restoration, as it defines these historic pieces. Not only do we cooperate with museums and offer auction houses our services and expert opinion, we also look forward to welcoming you as a private collector and connoisseur. Provenance: Stamp on the back by Azucena.
