About the Item
Unique vintage Italian lamp with twisted parchment diffuser
This sculptural Italian table lamp from the 1980s features a dramatic twisted parchment shade mounted on a hand-shaped, lacquered black timber base. Its organic silhouette and ambient light diffusion make it a stunning statement piece for interiors that celebrate form, craft, and atmosphere.
Warm lighting with poetic, asymmetric design
The parchment-like diffuser wraps around the light source in a spiral, secured by two dark wooden pegs — a detail that evokes both artisan craftsmanship and postmodern fluidity. When lit, the shade emits a soft, warm glow that enhances its sculptural character and invites tactile curiosity.
Italian craftsmanship with wabi-sabi and postmodern influence
Likely crafted by a small Italian atelier or studio designer, this lamp bridges 1970s organic minimalism and 1980s sculptural postmodernism. Its one-off presence makes it ideal for collectors, stylists, or design-led interiors seeking rare atmospheric lighting.
