A striking pair of table lamps designed by Gaetano Sciolari for Metalarte (Spain), featuring the designer’s characteristic interplay of sleek geometry and elegant materials. Each lamp is composed of a polished chrome cylindrical base supporting a large domed white plexiglass shade that emits a beautifully diffused and even light when illuminated.
The sculptural domes is held by three polished metal arms going up, a refined detail that lightens the visual mass. A black dimming switch is integrated into each base.

Gaetano Sciolari was an Italian lighting designer known for his glamorous, architectural approach to modern lighting. Active from the 1950s through the 1980s, he blended clean geometric forms with luxurious materials such as chrome, brass, and glass. Sciolari created fixtures that balanced futurism with elegance, often incorporating sculptural silhouettes and refined detailing. His work for leading manufacturers including Stilnovo, Metalarte and his own label helped define mid-century and late-modern lighting, and his designs remain highly sought after for their timeless sophistication.
