Gigi Capriolo for Complemento Idea 'Glob' Lamp in Stainless Steel

About the Item

Gigi Capriolo for Complemento Idea, floor or table lamp ‘Glob’, polished and brushed stainless steel, Italy, circa 1972 The Italian designer Gigi Capriolo (1940-) was born and active in Milan. In 1967, she began her professional career designing lighting, furniture, and shelving systems for clients in Italy. The 'Glob' lamp is part of a limited-edition series, which also includes two other lamps named ‘Maja’ and ‘Iron.’ Each piece in this series is part of an exclusive production run of only 100 units, all signed and numbered. The particular lamp in question, numbered 31, stands out as a sculptural lighting object that skillfully marries geometry and minimalism. Its design features two hemispherical shades positioned at an angular, asymmetrical alignment, giving the impression of movement and balance. Made entirely from stainless steel, the exterior is polished to a mirror finish, making the piece interact with its surroundings. Meanwhile, the brushed interior diffuses the light, resulting in a soft, muted glow that emanates from the gaps between the hemispheres. The ‘Glob’ lamp stands as both a functional object and a work of art. A label with signature and edition number “Gigi Capriolo 31/100”, attached to underside of the lamp.
