AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage postmodern bedside lamps with Murano glass lampshade, Italy, 1980s.
* Base: made of matte black painted metal. From the back comes the electric cord with the switch.
* Lamp-holder element: at the center of the base there is a vertical lampholder, in perforated steel with a grid pattern, curved and tapered. Its function is twofold: it houses the bulb and also acts as a reflector, directing the light toward the diffuser.
* Diffuser: The most distinctive element of the lamp is its fan-shaped diffuser, made of satin-mrosted Murano glass. The radial ribs emanating from the center of the fan create a pleated effect that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also helps to distribute light softly and evenly. This fan is mounted on the base, fixed with a screw, and extends laterally to form a wider semicircle.
* Overall aesthetics: The lamp harmoniously combines different materials – the black metal of the base, the steel of the central element, and the milky translucence of the diffuser. The design is clean, geometric but with elegant curves, reflecting the minimalist and refined Italian style typical of 1980s design. Its function is not only to illuminate but also to serve as a true decorative object, a sculptural piece capable of drawing attention.
* Lamps working, with a two-level brightness switch, sold WITHOUT bulbs (they accept small halogen bulbs)

height 21 cm
