AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling a lamp, Nerolia, designed by Ferdi Giardini for Oluce in 2001: it is a table lamp with an innovative design, also usable at the same time as a diffuser for essences.

The product, cylindrical in shape, is made of crystal glass, transparent; the container for aromatic essence, together with the lampshade support, are made of glass, amber finish.

New, never used, intact, original, complete with packaging, perfectly functioning and equipped with a dimmer function, complete with bulb.

Oluce was founded in 1945, just after World War II; it is currently the oldest lamp manufacturer still operating in Italy.
Its name is a contraction of the founder's surname initials, "O" for Giuseppe Ostuni, and "Luce", which means light.

The present table lamp was launched in 2001: it is the model 209 "Nerolia", signed by the Italian designer Ferdi Giardini and made in transparent and orange polychrome glass. vaguely resembling an hourglass, the lamp is operated by a wired dimmer, which allows adjusting the light intensity to create different atmospheres.

The Nerolia 209, designed by Ferdi Giardini in 2001, is an excellent example of Oluce's ability to merge glassmaking tradition with contemporary design. Its hourglass shape, made in transparent and orange blown glass, creates a fascinating play of transparency and light diffusion, confirming the company as a reference point in the Italian design landscape.

Ferdi Giardini
Born in 1959 in Turin, he graduated in 1982 from the Turin Academy of Fine Arts with a course in set design. He worked as a set designer until 1985-86.
In 1986 he held his first solo sculpture exhibition at the Franz Paludetto gallery in Turin. Conversely, his more recent solo shows took him in 2000 to Milan at the 1000 Eventi gallery, in Turin at the Carbone gallery, and in Barcelona at Forma Libera gallery in 1999. Collaterally he develops teaching activity and contributes to the creation of the first “ambient” environments for children (playrooms) in Turin.

Oluce with Flos, with Artemide, and Fontana Arte represents the top design of lighting technology in Italy.
Noce represents the complement to Knoll, Vitra or Cassina furniture.
