Description from the seller
1980s Benetton Folding Table Lamp – Italian Postmodern Memphis-Inspired Design
This colourful folding table lamp from the 1980s was created for Benetton and reflects the playful, geometric spirit associated with Memphis-influenced Italian design. Made in Italy, it combines bold colour blocks with a slim, articulated structure, resulting in a lamp that is both practical and visually striking.
The piece is constructed from moulded plastic in vivid tones of blue, red, yellow and green. Fully extended, the lamp reaches a height of 52 cm (20.5 in), with a maximum width of 33 cm (13 in) and a depth of 8 cm (3.1 in). Thanks to its foldable design, it can easily be positioned on a desk or displayed as a compact design object.

• Appeal: A collectible example of 1980s Italian design, offering both decorative and functional value
