In these floor lamps, the bulb holders are adjustable to allow the lightbulbs to connect well to the tubes. In the 1960s, Gaetano Sciolari created classic style refined, futuristic and cutting-edge chandeliers. His design was clean and sculptural and the used materials, such as crystal and icy glass, shone with a voluptuously luxurious freshness. He also started to combine brass with chromium. Gaetano Sciolari created lighting devices for Stilnovo e Stilkronen (Italy), Lightolier e Progress Lighting (USA), S.A. Boulanger (Belgium), Helestra and Leola (West Germany), Lyfa (Danimarca) and some other companies and, of course, for his Italian family business, the Sciolari company in Rome and Milan, where the whole lighting business of that period concentrated.
