Murano glass table lamp by Tommaso Barbi - Italy - 1950s

About the Item

Table lamp made entirely of blown Murano glass, with sculptural silhouette and luminous transparencies. Design attributed to Tommaso Barbi, Italy, 1970s.u2028This refined Murano glass table lamp is a rare example of Italian artistic craftsmanship from the 1970s, and is attributed to renowned designer Tommaso Barbi, known for his ability to fuse matter, light and organic forms into striking decorative objects. Made entirely of blown glass, including the base, the lamp features a fluid silhouette, with plays of transparencies and reflections that enhance its three-dimensionality even when turned off. The soft curves and balanced proportion make it a true light sculpture, perfect for elegant settings, both classic and contemporary. Murano's production, an expression of the highest quality craftsmanship, manifests itself in the full-bodied glass and the slight irregularities of blowing, which give uniqueness to each specimen. Tommaso Barbi was an Italian designer and craftsman known for his mastery of working with Murano glass. His workshop, which operated mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, was one of the most renowned in the Italian design scene. Barbi's creations are characterized by his use of traditional glassblowing techniques and his ability to trigger elegance and modernity in his works. Every lamp, piece of furniture and glassware produced by his workshop is a testament to quality and refinement. Barbi's works are now sought after by collectors and vintage design enthusiasts, prized for their timeless beauty and high quality craftsmanship.
