About the Item

Sergio Giobbi and Patrizia Innocenti for Metalmobili, 'Sfera' table lamp, acrylic, chrome-plated steel, cast aluminum, Italy, 1971 This radical designed table lamp is created by the Italian architects Sergio Giobbi and Patrizia Innocenti, strongly exemplifying the design ethos of the 1970s. This lighting object has a hauntingly mesmerizing light that draws the beholder's eye. The construction features a cast aluminum base with chrome-plated steel spheres inserted with undulating sheets of neon yellow green acrylic. The light shines through the sheets and highlights their outer edges. The use of a bright color and acrylic sheets in this design places it in the Pop Art era, reminiscent of the contemporaneous experimentation of avant-garde sculptors. This lamp is a great example of the technical advances in lamp design in Italy, starting in the late 1950s. It represents an imaginative response to the availability of translucent plexiglass and acrylic sheets. The use of these plastics opened a whole new range of possibilities in the field of lamp design. The material has the transparent quality of glass, while at the same time being less fragile and therefore less dangerous in use. It also has a very specific way of transmitting the light, which appears to be passing through the sheet slower than through glass, beautifully highlighting the edges of the sheets. Not to forget, the simple formability is a great benefit that allows the designer to create various constellations. The present lamp is a highly innovative piece of lighting with a strong sense of three-dimensionality and spatiality. Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
