AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Table lamp, model Gherpe, by SuperStudio for Poltrona 1967, FIRST SERIES.

Color: Fluorescent Pink (no longer in production since the late 1960s)

The Gherpe lamp was designed by the Superstudio group in 1967 for Poltronova.

Its shape is inspired by the shell of a marine creature (a seashell), placing it halfway between a work of art and an organic sculpture.

Gherpe is regarded as an icon of anti-conformist Italian design from the 1960s, breaking with the traditional standards of table lighting fixtures.

Given its age and the exceptional conditions, the power cord has been replaced for safety reasons.
