About the Item

Amazing pair of brass and Ivory white enameled cones. The design of these items is attributed to Guglielmo Ulrich and they were produced in Italy during 1940s. These pieces have four arms mounting E 14 bulbs and are a clear Art Deco example of the mix of materials and colors. A great set that will enrich and elevate a midcentury living room with its elegant lines. Guglielmo Ulrich was born in Milan in 1904, the son of Albert and Luisa Battaglia. Of a noble family of Danish origin, he attended the Brera Academy, and after a two-years cour¬se, he graduated in architecture at Milan Polytechnic. In 1930 he founded the Arca (Arredamento Casa/House-furnishing) company with Scaglia and Wild, of which he was the designer, presenting objects realized with greatest care and craftsmanship skill, using precious and exotic materials (until 1935). He designed furnishings for Scaglia until 1945, realized by Jannace and Kovacs. In the 1950s he participated in various “Triennali“, he furnished shops and offices in various Italian towns and designed buildings. He participated in various competitions, amongst which those relating to “naval furnishings” In the 1960s saw Ulrich's progression with cautious interest towards the industrial world. In 1961 he was awarded first prize in the competition of the Trieste Fair for a chair produced by Saffa. The leap in scale from the object to architecture did not involve any particular methodological adaptations. In both cases Ulrich's passion to do it well and to do it beautifully did not permit a diversity of attitude, the aim always being to achieve the best possible result. He died in 1977.
