AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic table or desk lamp model "Ring" (A400), designed by the renowned designer Bruno Gecchelin in 1979 and produced in Italy by the historic and prestigious company Arteluce (originally founded by Gino Sarfatti, a global reference in designer lighting).
​The piece represents a masterpiece of Italian industrial design straddling the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by a pronounced postmodern and functional aesthetic.

​Design and Structure: The lamp stands out for a sculptural and extremely clean architecture, composed of a solid, weighted metal base, a slim arm, and an orientable reflector.

​Light Adjustment (Dimmer): The model is equipped with a practical adjustment system that allows you to manage and modulate the light intensity, adapting it perfectly to every need, whether for ambient lighting or a more intense task light.

​The "Ring" detail: The circular junction element (from which the series takes its name) enables perfect adjustment and orientability of the light beam, combining a strong graphic impact with refined mechanical engineering.

​Branding and Authenticity: On the body of the lamp is clearly embossed the original factory mark in relief: "Arteluce RING A 400 DESIGN REGISTERED MADE IN ITALY" (as widely documented in photos).

​Reference Bibliography: The model is cataloged and published in major industry guides, including Giuliana Gramigna’s Repertory of Italian Design 1950-2000 (p. 269).

​Conditions:
In generally good preservation and perfectly functioning (electrical system tested). It shows the normal patina of time and light surface signs of use consistent with the period, attesting to vintage authenticity without compromising its extraordinary aesthetic beauty.

​An unmissable piece for mid-century modern collectors, lovers of historic Italian design, and enthusiasts of the great names in lighting.
