AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid vintage floor lamp (torchiere) dating from the 1980s, a perfect example of Italian lighting in a minimalist and post-modern industrial style. The structure is completely made of sky-white painted metal, characterized by clean and essential geometric lines.
The peculiarity of this model is the adjustable and tilting head: the reflector block can slide along the central stem and lock at the desired height via the side knobs, and can also be tilted to direct the light beam (ideal as indirect light toward the ceiling or for reading).
Technical Components of Note
The lamp carries its original electrical installation from the era with a floor dimmer (dimmer) originally signed RELCO Milano (Model RT 81), a historic Italian brand leader in lighting regulation systems. The dimmer allows you to adjust the light intensity at will from a soft ambient glow to maximum power.
Dimensions
Total height: 180 cm
Square base: 24 x 24 cm
Condition of the item
The lamp is perfectly functional (as shown in the photo with the light on). Being an original 1980s piece, it shows slight and normal signs of age on the paintwork, which attest to its authenticity and era, without compromising its minimalist aesthetics. It is fitted with a linear halogen bulb (replaceable with modern dimmable linear LED R7s if you wish to reduce consumption).
