Harvey Guzzini "Faro" Space Age Adjustable Table Lamp, iGuzzini, Italy, 1970's

About the Item

An exceptional example of Italian Space Age design, this vintage table lamp was manufactured by the renowned iGuzzini in Italy during the 1970s (marked Art. 4631). Combining mid-century industrial cleverness with playful, organic minimalism, the lamp features a prominent dome or "mushroom" semi-translucent cream-white acrylic shade. The design is highly functional: the shade housing is mounted to a central, polished chrome-plated steel rod via a stylized black structural bracket. This mechanism allows the user to easily slide the light source up and down to adjust the height, or pivot the shade dynamically to direct a warm, ambient glow exactly where needed. The sleek stem is anchored by a weighted, heavy-molded black circular base that grounds the piece beautifully. A quintessential addition to any mid-century modern, postmodern, or contemporary interior seeking an authentic touch of Italian lighting mastery. Harvey Guzzini (later iGuzzini) was founded by six brothers in Recanati, Italy, and rose to international prominence through collaborations with Gio Ponti, Luigi Massoni, Fabio Lenci, and Rodolfo Bonetto. The Faro is among the firm's most recognized and collected designs. In 2022–2023, iGuzzini launched its Echoes program re-editing classic 1960s–70s designs with LED technology, underscoring the enduring relevance of this era's output. Dimensions W24 cm / 9.45 in. x D36.5 cm / 14.37 in. x H61 cm / 24.02 in. It is currently wired to 220V as per European standards and could easily be switched to 110v as per American standards, upon request and free of charge. Light bulb not included.

It seems that Italian lighting company iGuzzini rebranded many times in the 20th century, going by, at various points, Harvey Creazioni, Illuminazione Guzzini and Guzzini. It began as Harvey Guzzini.

Harvey Guzzini may sound like a single designer, but it was actually a mid-century firm started by six brothers in the Guzzini family: Giovanni, Raimondo, Giuseppe, Adolfo, Virgilio and Giannunzio. The first part of the name was an homage to the 1950 film Harvey.

The Harvey Guzzini brand produced a range of fixtures during the postwar years, including table lamps, floor lamps and pendant lights.

Harvey Guzzini was founded in 1959 in a room of Giovanni's home in the town of Recanati. Initially, the company was focused on making copper decorative objects. The brothers quickly established their own studio space and, in 1963, they expanded into lighting production. The following year, they hired prolific Italian designer Luigi Massoni as head of design. In addition to Harvey Guzzini, Massoni was involved with many of Italy’s most influential brands, such as Poltrona Frau and Alessi.

Another key to the growing success of Harvey Guzzini was partnerships with a number of Italy's most prominent designers, including Gio Ponti, Fabio Lenci, Rodolfo Bonetto, Cesare Casati and Ennio Lucini.

From 1967 to 1968, Harvey Guzzini also participated in “Domus: Formes Italiennes,” an exhibition held at the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. By 1969, the company had grown into one of the best-known design firms in the country and opened a retail outlet in central Milan. Famous Harvey Guzzini designs include Massoni and Luciano Buttura's Mushroom table lamp (1965) as well as the in-house designed Arc floor lamp (1968), Faro table lamp (1970) and Toledo table lamp (1973).

In 1974, Harvey Guzzini rebranded as iGuzzini. The company introduced a range of new and technically advanced lighting fixtures, including low-voltage halogen lamps. In 1977, iGuzzini organized the first Italian lighting design conference. In 1991, it was awarded the Compasso d'Oro for its commitment to design.

Today, iGuzzini remains headquartered in Recanati and is a leading international architectural lighting group with a rich heritage spanning more than six decades since its early days as Harvey Guzzini. The company creates lighting fixtures for workplaces, city infrastructure and even cultural heritage sites.
