Description from the seller

The 'Pillola' lamp, designed by Cesare Casati and Emanuele Ponzio in 1968.

An iconic piece of 1960s Italian design, this original lamp stands out for its minimalist, timeless shape, emblematic of Italian modernism.

It is an authentic vintage piece (1968), bearing the logo on the underside of the base and the inscription “Collezione Studio D.A.”, confirming its authenticity.

The lamp is in excellent condition, almost like new, though showing light signs of wear consistent with its age. It is in perfect working order.

A unique collectible object, ideal for vintage design enthusiasts and refined interiors.
