Red Atomic Tripod Table Lamp 1950's Italy
About the Item
A playful and rare find from 1950s Italy, this red atomic tripod table lamp embodies the exuberant spirit of the atomic age in miniature form. Its small scale is precisely what makes it so intriguing—a compact piece with a commanding presence. The proportions are exceptionally balanced: a vibrant red sphere sits confidently on three brass conical feet, recalling mid-century fascination with space-age forms and jet propulsion design cues.
The brass detailing has aged beautifully, offering the perfect patina that contrasts with the high-gloss cherry red lacquered body. The woven rattan shade, which attaches directly to the bulb, casts a soft, atmospheric light that complements the lamp’s sculptural base—elevating even the smallest corner with warmth and style.
Original wiring and Italian plug remain intact, showing its authenticity and period correctness. This is not just a lamp, but a collector’s accent—ideal for a shelf, bedside table, or as part of a layered lighting scheme.
It stands on its own, literally and stylistically, and pairs beautifully with the black version if you’re seeking symmetry in mixed tones. A standout example of Italian craftsmanship from a time when even the smallest household items were infused with design intent and futuristic optimism.

Longobarda Ceramic Table Lamp by Marcello Cuneo for Gabbianelli 1966 Italy
By Marcello Cuneo, Gabbianelli
Located in Lisboa, PT
A bold and playful expression of Italian radical design, the Longobarda Table Lamp was created by Marcello Cuneo for Gabbianelli in 1966. Sculptural and instantly iconic, this ceramic lamp captures the spirit of the 1960s with its futuristic form, saturated color, and pop sensibility.
Crafted in glazed ceramic and finished in a vivid high-gloss orange, the lamp’s fluid, monolithic silhouette is as much a light source as it is a piece of art. Its arched top curves into a flowing base, concealing the bulb and directing a warm, glowing light downward and outward — creating a dramatic effect whether lit or not.
The lamp’s pure form is uninterrupted by visible seams or switches, with a hidden on/off mechanism and internal bulb placement that enhance its sculptural integrity. This particular example is in very good vintage condition, and was professionally rewired some years ago to ensure safe and functional use.
Marcello Cuneo, a former collaborator of Gio Ponti, designed the Longobarda as a radical departure from traditional lighting — its silhouette evoking both ancient helmets...
