Vintage Table Lamp in Red Lacquered Aluminum by Oscar Torlasco 1950s Italy

About the Item

Table or desk lamp with basement in black lacquered metal, stem in chromed metal and black lacquered metal, and a circular lampshade in red lacquered metal, designed by Oscar Torlasco and produced in Italy during the 1950s. The Roman designer Oscar Torlasco was mostly known for his lamps that diffuse soft light through optical glass lenses, he established himself between the 1950s and the 1960s designing for several Italian companies specializing in lighting, such as Esperia, Stilux and Stilkronen. His most recognizable creations, such as the industrial-style lamps made of brass and lacquered metal with adjustable light beams, are produced by the Italian company Lumi, while Fabbrica Illuminazione Greco produces the Genova 4053 street lamp for Torlasco, with which he won the Compasso d'Oro in 1959. Metal is the common denominator of his pieces and it's also used by Torlasco for lamps and chandeliers with a much more eclectic taste generally combined with other materials such marble, Murano glass and crystal.

Gio Ponti 546 Table Lamp in Aluminum and Opaline Glass by Ugo Pollice 1940s
By Pollice Illuminazione, Gio Ponti
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Table lamp or desk lamp model 546 with lampshade in lacquered aluminum, stem in chromed brass, base in lacquered cast-iron, and opaline glass diffuser. This lamp was designed by Gio Ponti and manufactured by Ugo Pollice Illuminazione during the 1940s. Gio Ponti was an icon of the modernist movement: the Italian designer, architect, artist and publisher contributed significantly to the worlds of architecture and design with his extensive work in Fine furniture and ceramics, education, office and residential buildings, and everything in between. Gio Ponti was born in 1891 in Milan. It was there that he spent his childhood, and in 1921 he began to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1923 to 1930 he served as the artistic director of the Richard-Ginori porcelain factory. In 1927, Ponti started his first architectural office, together with Emilio Lancia, and in 1928 he started the magazine Domus, which is still regarded as one of the most influential European magazines for architecture and design. He was also very influential during the period as a curator of the Milan Triennale. After his collaboration with Emilio Lancia had come to an end, upon completion of the Torre Rasini, he began to work as an architect together with the engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini...
