"Rhino" Lamp by Christian Dufay for Abode, France 1994

About the Item

The Rhino lamp by Christian Dufay for Abode stands as a striking exploration of form and material. This sculptural piece captures attention with its fluid curves and structural balance, offering an interplay between light and shadow that transforms any space. Design Drawing from both mid-century and contemporary influences, the lamp merges organic inspiration with minimalist design. Dufay’s creation recalls the ethereal quality of Isamu Noguchi’s lanterns while nodding to the structured elegance of Bruno Munari’s 1960s fabric and metal designs. The lamp is constructed using elasticized fabric stretched across a delicate wire metal frame, giving it a soft yet structured appearance. This combination results in a glowing, sculptural piece that adds a dynamic presence to interiors. Awarded "Best Lighting Design" at the 1994 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), the "Rhino" lamp comes in eight color options, providing versatility and character to match different moods and settings. More than just a lighting fixture, the "Rhino" lamp functions as an artistic statement. Its expressive silhouette and tactile materials invite closer inspection, while the soft diffusion of light enhances the surrounding environment. Condition The color of the fabric is slightly faded and shows minor discolorations.

Gae Aulenti Table Lamp ‘Poveglia’ in Murano Glass for Vistosi, Italy 1969
By Vistosi, Gae Aulenti
Located in Hellouw, NL
Gae Aulenti was a very versatile and talented architect who undoubtedly occupied an illustrious position in the history of design. An alumna of Politecnico di Milano, she has completed a series of prestigious projects during her long career spanning more than fifty years. For example, Aulenti was responsible for redesigning the Musée d'Orsay and creating a space for the Musée National d'Art Moderne in the Center Pompidou in Paris.In addition to these projects of an architectural nature, Aulenti has managed to leave a mark in the world of interior design with a multitude of furniture, lamps and objects. Many of these objects starred as backdrops in films and advertisements. Take, for example, the Locus Solus garden set in the 1969 classic La Piscine with Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and a young Jane Birkin. This will be an indelible memory for a design-loving audience. Design Aulenti made this table lamp called Poveglia for Vetreria Vistosi. An Italian manufacturer specializing in decorative lighting made of blown glass. The lamp consists of two separate parts. The round and transparent base, which is marked on the inside with a blue made-in-Italy label, has a notch. A yellow hood is attached to the base by a cold connection and shows a beautiful murrine drawing. This murrine technique is one of the most complicated and time-consuming techniques. The artist first coats a center rod with a variety of colorful glass liquids. This rod exhibits rainbow cross...
