AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Studio Tetrarch for Valenti Luche - Space Age wall/table lamp Pistillino.
A hundred percent original specimen of the iconic “Pistillino” design lamp. In 1969 designed by the Italian design group Studio Tetrarch and released by Valenti Luche (Milan). A flagship piece from the Space Age era and can be used as a table lamp, wall lamp, or ceiling lamp.
The lamp is in a beautiful, functioning vintage condition with the usual signs of aging inherent to this delicate material (including slight patina spots on the surface, and a small chip on the lower edge of the foot of the plastic). As clearly visible in the close-up photos, unfortunately a small arm on the side is missing. Due to the lamp’s lush, compact structure, this is hardly noticeable in practice and does not detract from the spectacular lighting effect.
Specifications:
The lamp features the original base plate with all authentic relief features pressed into it.
