About the Item

A translucent alabaster lamp of the same model was featured in the July 1938 issue of Domus magazine, which was established and edited by Gio Ponti. They were made in the Volterra workshops of the Cooperative Artieri Alabastro to resemble cornucopias tethered to bases with rope. They emit a mysterious glow when on, and have a sculptural presence when off.

Located in New York, NY

Launched during the Depression, Véronese devised a lean business model. Rather than having an in-house art director they commissioned designs from independent architects, like Marcel Roux...
