Designed by Gae Aulenti in the 1970s, this floor lamp represents Italian modernism through its geometric purity and sophisticated material contrasts. The form is defined by a substantial cylindrical metal base finished in a deep, warm brown with a smooth semi-gloss surface, conveying a sense of stability. The central accent is a large, white opaline glass globe, whose glossy, almost mirrored finish offers a compelling color and material counterpoint while ensuring diffused, ambient illumination. A metallic perforated band encircles the top of the brown base, contributing both refined visual interest and functional detail. Its well-proportioned stature—28 cm wide, 136 cm high, and a globe measuring 34 cm in diameter—anchors the lamp securely in any space. Subtle vertical slots breaching the cylinder’s upper edge serve for ventilation and break up the surface rhythmically. The original black power cord and foot switch remain true to the piece's decade. This lamp remains in very good vintage condition with only faint, superficial scratches, showing no notable marks or repairs.
The floor lamp tells the story of an era seeking to harmonize form and function, echoing the experimental spirit of 1970s Italy. Its opaline glass shade floats above the solid base, softening the composition like a suspended pearl. Glossy surfaces reflect light in gentle circles upon nearby walls, quietly invoking the poetic subtlety of modernist
