About the Item

I’ve been trying to identify who designed and produced this 'cool af' lamp since I bought it in Italy over a decade ago. The white plexi reflectors call to mind Joe Colombo’s semi-spherical Continental bookshelves. It would certainly be companionable with Gino Sarfatti’s model 548. This lamp holds a very high pedigree of quality construction and engineering. The outer chrome hemisphere with mottled finish sits on a tilted axis supported by a circular plinth base. Within the outer hemisphere is a white enameled steel hemisphere with round hole perforations which revolves by turning the hefty knurled knobs. Inside is the original single Edison screw socket for an E27 lightbulb up to 100 watts. Attached to a chrome circular ring is a reflector grid of white plexiglass. Original cord with inline switch and European two prong plug with US outlet adapter.
