Description from the seller

Rare Lampe de table "Totem Cubique" in authentic Murano glass by Albano Poli for Poliarte - Italy, c. 1970

Superb sculptural table lamp attributed to Albano Poli for the Italian manufacturer Poliarte, made around 1970. This piece with a strong geometric design perfectly illustrates the modernist and Space Age aesthetics of the 1970s.

The lamp consists of two imposing cube-shaped blocks of art glass, stacked to form an architectural silhouette evoking a totem. The glass displays beautiful hues of honey, amber and caramel, paired with translucent areas that delicately diffuse the light.

The thick blocks of glass offer an organic texture and refraction effects that give the whole a sculptural character, even when the lamp is off. A central perforated aluminum ring secures the assembly of the two elements and harmoniously completes the design.

This creation fits within Poliarte’s distinctive approach, an Italian manufacturer founded by Albano Poli in 1968, known for its art glass luminaires with geometric shapes and generous volumes.

Condition

* Power supply: 220–240 V
* Socket: screw-type, E14 or E27 to be confirmed
* Bulb: not included

Delivery

The item will be carefully packaged and protected for transport, given the weight and fragility of the glass.
