'Fru Fru' Table Lamp by Elvio Becheroni for Lamperti, Italy 1972
About the Item
A rare and playful design by Elvio Becheroni from the early 1970s, the table lamp reflects a moment when Italian lighting moved boldly into sculptural territory. Referenced in Luce Lampade 1968–1973: Il Nuovo Design Italiano by Fulvio and Napoleone Ferrari (Allemandi, 2002, Tav. 168), this lamp is part of a short-lived but inventive wave in Italian postmodern design.
Design
The lamp combines three key materials: chrome-plated steel, opaline glass, and curved opal methacrylate. A chrome cylindrical base anchors the composition, supporting a gently domed opaline glass diffuser. Surrounding the core, a white methacrylate shade curves outward in rhythmic waves, giving the lamp its nickname “Fru-Fru” – a nod to the soft, layered effect of a ruffled skirt. The light source remains subtly shielded, casting a warm, diffused glow that enhances the sculptural profile.
The design captures a spirit of experimentation typical of the period. Becheroni, known for his work across art and design, here finds a point of balance between form, function, and light. Materials are handled with precision but without rigidity.
Condition
Condition is very good. The lamp works with two seperate light options. Surfaces show light signs of age consistent with the material and period. The chrome has slight oxidation on the inner parts, and the methacrylate shade is free from deformation or yellowing. The lamp has been tested and functions properly.

Gae Aulenti Table Lamp ‘Poveglia’ in Murano Glass for Vistosi, Italy 1969
By Vistosi, Gae Aulenti
Located in Hellouw, NL
Gae Aulenti was a very versatile and talented architect who undoubtedly occupied an illustrious position in the history of design. An alumna of Politecnico di Milano, she has completed a series of prestigious projects during her long career spanning more than fifty years. For example, Aulenti was responsible for redesigning the Musée d'Orsay and creating a space for the Musée National d'Art Moderne in the Center Pompidou in Paris.In addition to these projects of an architectural nature, Aulenti has managed to leave a mark in the world of interior design with a multitude of furniture, lamps and objects. Many of these objects starred as backdrops in films and advertisements. Take, for example, the Locus Solus garden set in the 1969 classic La Piscine with Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and a young Jane Birkin. This will be an indelible memory for a design-loving audience.
Design
Aulenti made this table lamp called Poveglia for Vetreria Vistosi. An Italian manufacturer specializing in decorative lighting made of blown glass. The lamp consists of two separate parts. The round and transparent base, which is marked on the inside with a blue made-in-Italy label, has a notch. A yellow hood is attached to the base by a cold connection and shows a beautiful murrine drawing. This murrine technique is one of the most complicated and time-consuming techniques. The artist first coats a center rod with a variety of colorful glass liquids. This rod exhibits rainbow cross...
