What I like

I really like this lamp base, very elegant with this twist of the pyramids which gives it a very elegant, but subtle dynamism, which is reminiscent of certain creations by Sabattini. The term that comes to mind is Rythm, and the emotion that comes to mind is the lightness of champagne bubbles!

I also like its large size, and the elegance of the lampshade redone in the model of the original, which hovers on this base, ready to fly away.

The chrome plating of the base is typical of the elegant creations of elegant Italian design of the 1970s, and in fact this lamp was designed in 1972 for High Society.

I like this lamp base, discreet but present, like a minimalist sculpture.

Technical description

A.Tonello and A.Montagna Grillo for High Society- Milano, 1972

Lamp whose chromed metal foot is formed by two triangular pyramids, each slightly twisted, positioned head to head, the final twist being 90 degrees. From this foot starts a metal rod, supporting two white lacquered sockets, and the conical fabric lampshade.

Slight traces of oxidation on the base, consistent with use.

The electrification has been redone, the lampshade has been redone in cotton percale on the measurements of the original.

Dimensions and weight:

Total height: 98 cm – Width of each side: 15 cm

Shade dimensions: Height: 35 cm – Diameter: 36 cm

Weight: 2,5 kg

Mix & Match

This lamp base has a timeless elegance, nevertheless marked by an Italian chic side of the 1970s.

It can be placed on a Louis XVI or Empire chest of drawers in precious wood, but also on antique furniture in waxed wood.

Of course, we can have it illuminate the large Banque de France desk in walnut and chrome, but also Gae Aulenti’s living room table. In the same room, we will use the Cubico chandelier by Gaetano Sciolari in chromed metal and cubic verrines in transparent glass and lattimo, because the elegance of each will be multiplied by that of the other.

To stay in an Italian spirit of the 1970s, on the walls we will hang the Op’art painting by Giuseppe Cuoco “Oggetto con movimento e casella rossa” dated 1973!
