AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Valenti Luce - Adjustable post-modern table lamp / desk lamp model "Lisa" - Design Gianni Cardile - 80s/90s
Refined and iconic table/desk lamp model "Lisa", designed by Gianni Cardile for the famous Milanese manufacturer Valenti Luce (Cusago), spanning the late 80s and early 90s.
This piece represents an excellent example of Italian post-modern lighting engineering. The lamp stands out for its geometric, light, and extremely dynamic silhouette: the long arm in transparent plexiglass is counterbalanced by a rear black metal cylinder which, working in synergy with the thin metal tie-rods, allows you to orient and hold the lamp in any configuration you desire. The aerodynamic upper shade can be rotated and tilted as needed to direct the light beam.
The switch located on the circular base offers two light intensities (soft light / full light).
Technical data and dimensions
• Manufacturer: Valenti Luce (Cusago, Milan) – Original brand stamped on the vertical stem.
• Model: Lisa
• Designer: Gianni Cardile
• Period: 80s / 90s
• Country of production: Italy
• Materials: Injection-molded plastic, painted metal, transparent plexiglass arm, satin metal parabolic reflector.
• Light source: Low-voltage halogen (operates with selectable dual intensity via switch).
• Power supply: 220V (transformer integrated into the base).
• Approximate measurements (vary with extension):
• Maximum arm/boom length: about 80 cm
• Base diameter: about 20 cm
• Average working height: about 50 – 60 cm
Condition of the item
Excellent vintage condition and perfectly functional.
The lamp has been tested and responds perfectly to both light levels (as visible in the attached photos). The balancing and orientation mechanism is smooth and stable. Structurally sound, it shows only very light and normal signs of age due to use, which do not compromise its aesthetics.
Note on originality: On the base there is the original sticker of the era’s distributor ("Claudio Luigino").
