ABOUT PRODUCTID 33930
The 'Take' table lamp, designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell in the 1970s, epitomizes Italian modernism where material innovation meets geometric clarity. Its construction is based on two flat, rectangular sheets of transparent, intensely blue polycarbonate, joined at a right angle. Inside, a stylized silhouette of a classical table lamp is outlined, while the pleated lampshade, featuring vertical grooves, acts as a prism—diffusing and refracting the light. The lamp's glossy finish amplifies its luminous depth, and visible screws at the corners add a subtle industrial accent. Dimensions: width 19 cm, depth 18 cm, height 30 cm. The listed price refers to a single item. Condition: very good—only minimal signs of use, with no damage or evidence of restoration.
The 'Take' lamp tells the story of late 20th-century Italian design, when plastic transcended its status as a mere substitute and became a vehicle for creative expression. Its silhouette, framed by transparent blue planes, evokes the pop-art boldness and experimental spirit of the 1970s. Light, refracted by the vertical grooves of the shade, casts dynamic reflections across surfaces, as if capturing fragments of an Italian night or the neon glow of Milan. The lamp seems to whisper of an era when design sought new boundaries—and found them in simplicity and in materials that have once again become coveted by collectors.
'Take' can be paired with a minimalist desk, a metal-framed bookshelf, or a low light wood table to highlight its contemporary, architectural lines. It works well
