Gherpe table lamp by Superstudio for Poltronova 60s, 70s
About the Item
This is a very impressive table or floor lamp, model 'Gherpe' made by Superstudio for Poltronova, Italy in 1967.
This animal-like table lamp can take on many forms, thanks to its six curved sheets made of Plexiglass that are attached to a central, chrome plated base. The sheets radiate 180 degrees from the base. The lamp housing is mounted on the base and two black circular knobs on either side secure the sheets to the base. The smallest acrylic sheet has an indentation to allow it to rest over the electric cord.

Superstudio
Superstudio was founded in 1966 in Florence, Italy, by Adolfo Natalini and Cristiano Toraldo di Francia. One of the country's first Radical design groups as a result of the counterculture movement, Superstudio's anti-architectural proposals used monochrome grid systems as a way to mediate and give equality to space. It was also frequently used in their furniture designs in the way of small white glazed tiles.
