About the Item
The “Tikal” table lamp, designed by Pier Giuseppe Ramella for Arteluce, is a distinctive example of Italian postmodern lighting from the 1980s. Characterised by its sculptural geometry and playful use of colour, the lamp features a swivelling blue glass disc that sits behind a glossy white acrylic shade, creating a layered composition of light and form. The round black base grounds the piece and adds to its striking silhouette.
This model is particularly admired for its dynamic visual presence: the blue disc can be rotated to adjust both the colour effect and the graphic expression of the lamp. Whether illuminated or off, the Tikal operates as a design object with strong architectural intention. Its bold shapes and contrasting elements make it a quintessential postmodern statement piece.
About Pier Giuseppe Ramella
Pier Giuseppe Ramella is an Italian designer whose work reflects the expressive experimentation of late-20th-century design. Known for combining sculptural forms with functional lighting concepts, Ramella contributed to the era when Italian design houses explored geometry, colour, and new material combinations. His work for Arteluce – one of Italy’s most influential lighting manufacturers – has become sought after by collectors who appreciate postmodern design language and the playful sophistication that defined the 1980s Italian aesthetic.
