Size: D/W 162 [ base ] x H 679 [ when fully vertical ]
Condition Report: Good vintage condition. painted body is overall in good shape, but does show some areas of tarnishing and a scratching. the flexible rubber neck has aged, with a split on one side, see image below. Reach out for detailed images.
.
A particularly clever piece of Italian lighting design by Stilnovo, the [ Periscopio ] is a compact table lamp that transforms into a clamp lamp by removing its weighted cast base.
The articulated stem allows the light to be positioned with ease, bending back and forth and also rotating. The simple construction gives the lamp its distinctive, almost industrial character. Used with its cast base, it works beautifully as a desk or bedside lamp or remove the base and the body can be secured directly to a table, shelf or work surface.
A great example of the practical ingenuity that defined Italian lighting of the period, understated, highly functional and unmistakably sculptural.
