Elegant 1950s floor lamp by Stilnovo, featuring a refined combination of sculptural simplicity and functional innovation. The lamp stands on a slender tripod base in black-lacquered metal, providing both visual lightness and structural stability. Rising from the center is a brass telescopic stem, fully adjustable in height, allowing the lamp to shift effortlessly between ambient and task lighting.
The top is crowned with a softly rounded opaline glass diffuser, whose organic shape casts a warm, even glow. The contrast between the matte tripod legs, the warm brass, and the luminous glass creates the timeless balance for which Stilnovo is celebrated.Stilnovo, founded in Milan in 1946 by Bruno Gatta, is one of the most influential Italian lighting companies of the mid-20th century.
