Bedside table lamp (2) - Murano glass

Vintage postmodern bedside lamps with Murano glass shade, Italy, 1980s.

* Base: made in matte black painted metal. The electrical cord with switch exits from the back.

* Lampshade holder element: at the center of the base there is a vertical lamp holder, in perforated steel with a lattice pattern, curved and tapered. Its function is twofold: it houses the bulb and acts as a reflector, directing light toward the diffuser.

* Diffuser: The most distinctive element of the lamp is its fan-shaped diffuser, made of milky satin Murano glass. The radial veins emanating from the center of the fan create a pleated-like effect which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps distribute the 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 yet with elegant curves, reflecting the minimalist and refined style typical of Italian design of the 1980s. Its function is not only to illuminate but also to serve as a true decorative object, a sculptural piece capable of drawing attention.

* Lamps functioning, with a two-level brightness switch, sold WITHOUT bulbs (they accept small halogen bulbs)
