AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

If you are looking for the definitive detail to elevate your interior, this monumental wall or ceiling lamp designed by Goffredo Reggiani in the 1960s is the perfect investment. It is not just a light source, but a true luminous sculpture with an organic shield-like design, capable of catching the eye even when turned off.

The geometric contrast is sublime: the warm and elegant external frame in precious teak embraces a central diffuser in satin blown opal glass, which spreads a soft, intimate, enveloping ambient light, free of glare. Pieces with this presence and in this condition are increasingly rare on the modern design market. Including a Reggiani piece in your home means not only enriching an environment with the timeless charm of Italian Mid-Century Modern, but also owning a work of art whose collectible value is destined to grow over time. Do not miss the chance to make yours an authentic rarity of Italian design.

Founded in Monza in 1957 by Goffredo Reggiani, the company has been one of the historical pillars of Italian lighting design. Reggiani has always stood out for extraordinary material research (moving from warm woods in the 1960s to chromed metals of the Space Age in the 1970s) and for the very high manufacturing quality, becoming an international reference.

Goffredo Reggiani is renowned for having fused Scandinavian aesthetics (the use of teak and organic lines) with the genius and refinement of Made in Italy.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
