About the Item

A sculptural and rare lighting object, the Chioccio table lamp was designed by Sergio Mazza for Quattrifolio in the 1970s and manufactured in Rozzano, Milan. Named after the Italian word for “snail,” Chioccio is a design that wraps light in a soft, directional glow, blending minimalism with futuristic elegance. The lamp’s construction features a cylindrical chrome-plated brass base perforated with a ring of round holes, adding subtle rhythm and ventilation. A pair of chrome rods support the dramatic, asymmetrically flared “witch hat” style aluminum shade, painted white to enhance light diffusion. The interplay between the polished base and the matte shade gives this piece its unique visual balance—elegant, playful, and boldly architectural. Fitted with a Bakelite E27 socket, the lamp supports any standard bulb. A chromed bulb is ideal, complementing both the reflective base and the geometric purity of the overall design. This is the only version of the Chioccio ever produced—its smaller sibling, the Pulcino, was the only alternate scale made by Quattrifolio. In excellent original condition, this rare piece exemplifies the intellectual clarity of Mazza’s design language and is a standout collectible in the canon of 1970s Italian lighting.
