About the Item

The Barnaba lamp by Angelo Brotto, produced by the Spanish firm Fase under the name Planeta, is one of the most iconic lighting design pieces of the 1970s. Brotto, known for his avant-garde style and experimentation with innovative materials, created this lamp in 1974 in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer Esperia. The Spanish company Fase, renowned for its high-quality desk lamps, acquired the rights to produce and market this lamp in Spain under the name “Planeta.” While maintaining the essence of Brotto's original design, this version incorporated certain adjustments to align with market trends of the time. Thanks to this collaboration between Fase and Esperia, the Barnaba lamp gained wider recognition outside Italy, becoming a highly valued piece among collectors and vintage design enthusiasts. Today, it remains a sought-after object in the world of retro-futuristic design and artistic lighting. **Angelo Brotto (1914-2002)** The designer Angelo Brotto was born in Venice, Italy, in 1914, and passed away in Campiglia Marittima in 2002. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, graduating with honors in 1941 and winning multiple art and design competitions. Throughout his career, Brotto experimented with various disciplines but excelled particularly in designing lamps and Murano glass art. His collaboration with Esperia resulted in iconic pieces that combined high-quality materials with an innovative aesthetic. Brotto’s works have been acquired by major institutions such as the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and Venice, the Revoltella Museum in Trieste, the Venice Biennale, and the Italian Ministry of National Education. His legacy remains alive in private collections and museums worldwide, cementing his status as a key figure in 20th-century Italian design.
