About the Item

F.A.A.I. Arredo Prisma table lamps or wall lamp cremona, Italy 1970s Cast aluminium cuboid lamp. Painted brown. Galvanised iron bottom plate. 4 plastic screws that serve as feet, one is missing. These geometric, cuboid/beam F.A.A.I. Arredo Prisma table lamps were made in many colours. These lamps have 4 recesses to hang them on the wall. F.A.A.I. Arredo Nothing to be found about F.A.A.I. Arredo. Arredo is the Italian word for furniture or decoration. F.A.A.I. Arredo must be long gone and it looks like they only produced these table or wall lamps. The company was located in Cremona. Cremona is a city in northern Italy, situated in Lombardy, on the left bank of the Po River. It is the capital of the province of Cremona. Cremona is also the hometown of the famous Stradivarius violins made by Antonio Stradivari. Some people say that this lamp was designed by Meo Caffi. No proof to be found about this attribution. The lamps are labelled, fortunately, but only with a label FAAI Arredo Cremona and a label F.A.A.I. Made in Italy. The only result for Meo Caffi is a “Chronicon antiquum” book from 1616 in Latin by Léon de Marsico. Meo is me and Caffi could be a name: Me Caffi. Other translations say “my coffee”. VLM Components All the electric parts were produced by VLM Components in the 60s and early 70s. The company was founded in 1945 in Buccinasco, a small village near Milan, Italy.
