Table Lamp with Large Green Glass - Stilnovo - Italy - 1960s

About the Item

The 1950s lamp produced by Stilnovo features a design that perfectly embodies the style and innovation of the period. Stilnovo, founded in Milan in 1946, is known for producing lighting fixtures that combine functionality and aesthetic beauty, often collaborating with internationally renowned designers. The base of the lamp is made of a thick green Murano glass, characterized by a slender shape that is slightly tapered toward the center, giving the piece elegance and stability. Murano glass is known for its quality and the artisanal process by which it is made, making each piece unique. The pleated paper shade adds a touch of lightness and sophistication to the overall design. Pleating allows for a soft and even spread of light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This lamp has three different lighting modes, offering versatility and adaptability to different lighting needs. This type of functionality was advanced for the time and reflects Stilnovo's focus on technological innovation. The lamp's design combines elements of 1950s modernism with traditional Murano glass craftsmanship. The combination of natural materials and technological innovation is typical of mid-century modern design, which placed emphasis on functionality without compromising aesthetics. This lamp would have been used in elegant interiors, such as living rooms, studies or bedrooms, where it could have served both as a main source of lighting and as a central decorative piece. The ability to choose from three different lighting modes made it particularly versatile, suitable for both ambient lighting and specific activities such as reading. Stilnovo was one of the most influential companies in the field of lighting design during the postwar period in Italy. Their products often featured innovative design, the use of new materials and technologies, and collaborations with some of the greatest designers of the time such as Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, and Achille Castiglioni. Stilnovo lamps are now considered collector's items and are highly sought after by design enthusiasts.

Stilnovo Accent Table Lamp, Italy, 1960s
By Stilnovo
Located in Utrecht, NL
This characteristic Stilnovo table lamp is the definition of an eye-catching design. Decorative lighting is basically the fourth layer of illumination, the jewellery of the room. This lamp contains the comfort of ambiance lighting, the efficiency of task lighting, and the impact of accent lighting. Accent lamps are generally smaller lights that give a dark corner a nice glow. In this design lamp’s case however, the look is just as appealing when turned off, which can be considered a Stilnovo speciality. The copper structure is layered, starting from the bottom with a round black lacquered base. The thin, nickel-plated metal tube rests on a smaller round base and supports the drum-shaped middle section that serves as the diffuser. As such, it is made of thinner, tinted methacrylate that dims the light to create atmospheric, stylish lighting. The shade has small holes on its top that lets the light through for an appealing effect. The design is topped off with the thin metal tube piercing through the shade visually, ending in a small sphere as a focal point. The tricolour palette and combination of materials sets the design tone, creating an aesthetic that is reminiscent not only of the space age, but also of industrial design. This lamp is truly original and seems to find its origins in Europe. On a side table or a sideboard, this Stilnovo table lamp will quickly find its marks in any interior. To accompany the stylish look, the copper has beautiful patina that adds vintage charm to the otherwise modern aesthetic of the design. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The metal has a beautiful patina with some marks. Dimensions: 6.88 in Ø x 13.38 in H 17.5 cm Ø x 34 cm H About the manufacturer: Stilnovo was founded in the heart of Milan by Bruno Gatta in 1946. In 1947, Stilnovo participated in the 8th Triennale di Milano and immediately activated a communications campaign, focused on the most important specialized magazines in the sector. In the following years, Bruno Gatta partnered with his brother Paolo, who had recently graduated from university and in September 1949, they opened “Stilnovo Srl”, with a share capital of 400,000 Italian Lire. This set off a managerial pathway which, over the course of just a few years, saw the company become a point of reference in modern lighting. By 1956, Stilnovo achieved a share capital of 4,000,000 Italian Lire, a tenfold increase in just seven years. Their designs were celebrated and the “2061” model became the first Stilnovo lamp selected at the Compasso d’Oro. In 1957, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni designed two Saliscendi light fixtures for the new Milan Chamber of Commerce. The coming decades brought many designs that are now considered iconic, and by the 1970s, many of their models were featured in various media outlets, galleries, and museums. Stilnovo took part in the 1972 show “Italy, the New Domestic Landscape” at the MoMA in New York, where the Periscopio and Nuvola lamps...
