The lighting object is the result of Gae Aulenti's architectural sensibility. The frame constitutes evenly spaced bent rods that define hollowed-out areas. One third is overlaid with a molded plastic shell executed in a light pink tone. The lamp gives off an impression of being structurally austere, yet the open gaps give a sense of transparency, allowing the light to escape. The light gets beautifully captured by the sheet, resulting in an atmospheric optical, light effect. The sculptural form conceals an ingenious feature as the sphere can be rotated, meaning that the position of the lamp as well as the directness of the light can be altered. The 'Singa' lamp, with its practicality and impressive sculptural presence, embodies the hallmarks of Gae Aulenti's design style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGae Aulenti (1927-2012) was an Italian designer and architect. In 1954, she graduated at the Milan School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University and was only one of two women from her class of 20. Aulenti is mostly known for her large-scale museum projects such as her work for the Musée d’Orsay and Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Palazzo Grassi in Venice. Aulenti was at the forefront of Italian post-war design. Her design was meant to make connections with both history and future of Italy. The postmodern movement that Aulenti belonged to refused to design in the objective language of the modernists. This Avant Garde Postmodern design movement was the beginning of a new type of Italian art, architecture and design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e VAT within the EU: When buying or delivering an item within the EU, VAT usually applies and will be added.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48059285504343,"sku":"LU933138758412","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50114517_01__master.jpg?v=1713164306"},{"product_id":"ilmari-tapiovaara-maija-the-bee-floor-lamp-with-cane-and-brass-details","title":"Ilmari Tapiovaara 'Maija the Bee' Floor Lamp with Cane and Brass Details","description":"\u003cp\u003eIlmari Tapiovaara for Hienoteräs, 'Maija the Bee' floor lamp, lacquered brass, lacquered aluminum, brass, cane, Finland, 1955 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIlmari Tapiovaara developed the ‘Maija the Bee’ light series in 1955 and was inspired by the German children’s book ‘The Adventures of Maya the Bee’ written by Waldemar Bonsels (1880-1952) and published in 1912.

Only a few years later in 1922, Benito Mussolini became head of the Italian government and began to establish his fascist regime that would last till 1943. During the last year of the Second World War, Giuseppe Ostuni and his family lived with his brother Angelo in Milan. There, Giuseppe started to repair lampshades that had been damaged during the war. New lampshades were made with limited resources, all by hand, due to the lack of available materials. As an autodidact, he designed modern and convenient lighting through intense study and ‘learning by doing’. Soon after, Giuseppe set up his own workshop in 1947, and in 1948 he officially registered his company ‘O-LUCE’. Together with his brother Angelo, who made a great part of the lighting drawings, he worked on numerous designs and worked together with leading designers as Franco Buzzi, Tito Angoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and more. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52132906008919,"sku":null,"price":32000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50116707_St_P_6_c68c0b3c-1eb3-4bc5-a133-5c4d9bae8f48.jpg?v=1762774723"},{"product_id":"mario-botta-for-artemide-shogun-pair-of-floor-lamps","title":"Mario Botta for Artemide ‘Shogun’ Floor Lamp","description":"Mario Botta for Artemide, 'Shogun' floor lamp, aluminum, steel, Italy, 1986  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMario Botta referred to lamps as “people”.

Demonstrating the fundamental principles embraced by the design team, their early creation, model 201, embodies a fusion of uncomplicated elegance and technological advancement. Developed in 1949, this lamp features a telescopic extension that enables its utilization as a floor lamp or desk lamp. Ostuni’s first models created between 1946 and 1948 were made in a more traditional manner to suit the taste of the Milanese upper-middle class. Ostuni's shift in his design approach is clearly displayed in the features of this designed 201 model. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this lamp is explicitly designed to offer a customizable light source that can be adjusted according to one’s own requirements. O-Luce continued its production throughout the 1960s. In 1950, Angelo Ostuni and his brother received international recognition for their exceptional lighting designs, mostly for the application of adjustable features in their designs which was highly innovative during that period. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngelo Ostuni (1904-1981) was an Italian designer and the elder brother of Giuseppe Ostuni (1907-1994) who established the Italian lighting company O-Luce. Together, they collaborated on numerous of designs for O-Luce that became one of Italy's leading lighting design companies. Angelo Ostuni was born in Trieste, Italy in 1904, when the city was part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Ten years later, the First World War began. In 1915 Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire and soon the Italian army bombed Trieste in May 1915. The Ostuni family endured some difficult times and eventually moved to Milan in 1919. Angelo enrolled into the Instituto Tecnico of Milan. From a young age, he showed a special talent for drawing. La Fiamma Verde, a monthly Italian student magazine, published a few of his drawing during the early 1920s. Later on, he would use his skills to make a great part of the lighting drawings for his brother's company. As a young adult he started working for his father's timber trading company and started to trade antiques on the side. Ostuni lived through the rise of Mussolini's fascist regime and the outbreak of the Second World War. Ninety percent of the Milanese population left the city during the war, but Angelo and his family stayed behind and founded the furniture company ‘Frangi’. In 1945, his brother Giuseppe moved in and together they started to design lighting and furniture. Even though Angelo didn't have a degree in architecture or art, with his natural talent he designed the most versatile interior projects and furniture designs.

During the last year of the Second World War, Giuseppe Ostuni and his family lived with his brother Angelo in Milan. There, Giuseppe started to repair lampshades that had been damaged during the war. New lampshades were made with limited resources, all by hand, due to the lack of available materials. As an autodidact, he designed modern and convenient lighting through intense study and ‘learning by doing’. Soon after, Giuseppe set up his own workshop in 1947, and in 1948 he officially registered his company ‘O-LUCE’. Together with his brother Angelo, who made a great part of the lighting drawings, he worked on numerous designs and worked together with leading designers as Franco Buzzi, Tito Angoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and more.

The Cityscape pieces became some of Evans’ most successful and admired designs, celebrated for their luxurious and modern appearance achieved through a striking use of materials. The PE 200 series is particularly known for its flat surfaces executed in chrome-plated steel and brass. Geometry plays a central role in the design, expressed through clear lines and angular forms. The lamp features a symmetrical construction based on a T-shaped stem supported by a narrowed T-shaped base, while the surface is clad with chrome-plated steel and brass sheets arranged in an asymmetrical mosaic pattern. This contrast between strict geometry and irregular surface composition reflects the postmodern design ideology. When illuminated, the reflective surfaces catch and scatter the light, creating a shimmering effect reminiscent of the glamour and energy of the disco era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe origin of Evans’ Cityscape series with its gleaming façades is based on the exploring of a material new to the Evans studio: chromed steel. The research and development for the series started in 1970 and took place over a six-month period. Before that, Evans had done a lot of preliminary examination by using a constructivist approach to design, which was, as art critic Glenn Adamson puts it, ‘based on the repetition and variation of geometrical modules, typically built from discrete metal plates, welded together and then embellished.’ As the handling of the material required a lot of technical competence and precision, Evans was faced with a great challenge during this period. Not only the visual characteristics of the material carries a sense of deluxe, but also Evans’ great craftsmanship and creativity give the potential that the Cityscape furniture could be considered as refined and exceptional. Evans himself described the series as ‘an elegant and unconventional statement, the ultimate in high fashion contemporary furniture.’.  \u003cbr\u003eAlthough Evans had a background in metalwork, the Cityscape series seems equally relevant to the Art Deco period of the 1920s and ‘30s. Evans was among others strongly inspired by the Viennese Art Deco designer Paul Frankl (1886-1958) who is known for his designs that resemble the New York architectural skyscrapers. As the title “Cityscape” suggests, the mirrored surface of the sideboards graphically represents a skyline. Other shapes within the series were also present resulting in a more general sphere of urbanity. Another source of inspiration could be the compositions prevailing within black-and-white movies of the Art Deco era, which played a major in the stylistic features of the art movement. Hollywood set designers used the juxtaposition of different kind of materials – mirrors, chromed steel, high-polish lacquer and silver-gilt wood – that contained a mirrored, sheen, and reflective finish, as means of creating these surfaces of high-contrast. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Evans (1931-1987) was among one of the most important American Studio Craft Movement members. Together with artists such as Wharton Esherick and George Nakashima, he helped to make the Philadelphia region a prominent center for the Studio Craft in the late 1960s. Born in Newton, Pennsylvania, Evans studied at a few different institutions such as the Philadelphia Textile Institute, the Rochester Institute of Technology, School for American Craftsman, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Eventually, he was drawn to New Hope, Pennsylvania, in 1955 where he collaborated and shared a showroom with Phillip Lloyd Powell until 1966. Powell’s woodwork and Evan’s metal craftsmanship combined into a creative partnership. During this period, he started to create furniture with metal and sculpture by which he manipulated materials to achieve expressive surface effects. In 1964, Evans started working for the Directional Furniture company where he pursued a new phase of his career. Directional offered him new opportunities for selling his work throughout the US and he continuously introduced new lines. However, his line proved to be too expensive and by the end of the seventies, he ended his relationship with the company. It was also throughout the seventies that Evans started to replace these crusty, textured surfaced, that were patinated with paint and acid, with dazzling, reflective metal surfaces that were sometimes mixed with woods. Evans’ oeuvre has an impressive size especially when regarding all pieces were handmade. On March 6,1987, the artist shut down his business and, unfortunately, died the next day due to a heart attack.

The spray-on polymer technique is often associated with the Viscontea lamp designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1960. While the Castiglioni brothers popularized the method in the 1960s, Bergström had already begun exploring plastic as a novel material for modern lighting in the early 1950s, anticipating this later development. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin Bergström’s body of work, this design is notably experimental and unconventional, distinguished by its varied shapes and bold combination of materials. A substantial block of travertine grounds the lamp; literally, through its weight, and figuratively, through its natural, earthy presence. From this base, two stems rise in opposite directions: one ending in a cone-shaped aluminum shade, the other capped with a softly rounded cocoon shade articulated by vertical ribbing. The translucent material gently diffuses the light, casting a warm, inviting glow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHans Bergström (1910-1996), a luminary figure hailing from the realm of Swedish architecture and design, was born on November 4, 1910, in Karlshamn, Sweden. After his completion of secondary school in 1927, Hans embarked on an internship at Ystad Metall, a local craft industry situated near his grandfather's farm. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design in Stockholm. Remarkably, even before his graduation from this institution, at the age of twenty, Hans showcased his prowess as a designer for Ystad Metall at the prestigious Stockholm Exhibition in 1930. \u003cbr\u003eIn the 1920s, Hans encountered his future wife Verna during the summer holidays in his native town of Karlshamn. In 1934, the couple jointly established the company ateljé Lyktan, a venture that combined their collaborative efforts in luminaire design and various artistic pursuits. Bergström undertook various commissions spanning a wide range of architectural environments, including churches, private residences, and public buildings. It was from this point forward that Bergström spearheaded a revolution in Swedish luminaire manufacturing, fundamentally transforming the perception and application of electric lighting in the coming decades. \t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the advent of the 1950s, the emergence of plastic as a novel material in modern lighting captured Hans' attention. As the United States gradually introduced plastic as a material of significance, Bergström encountered a method involving the application of sprayed plastic onto a rotating wire frame, facilitated by a spray gun. Interestingly, this technique bore certain resemblances to the later approach employed by Achille \u0026amp; Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the creation of their Viscontea Lamp (1960), reminiscent of a cocoon, designed for Flos. Recognizing the vast potential offered by this new technology, he successfully managed to get a patent for the production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a span of three decades, Bergström held the position of creative director at ateljé Lyktan and served as the sole designer of the company until the early 1960s. A significant portion of his designs were unique pieces, numbered but lacking specific names. Through his pioneering work, Bergström emerged as a leading figure in the realm of modern Swedish lighting fixtures.

Only a few years later in 1922, Benito Mussolini became head of the Italian government and began to establish his fascist regime that would last till 1943. During the last year of the Second World War, Giuseppe Ostuni and his family lived with his brother Angelo in Milan. There, Giuseppe started to repair lampshades that had been damaged during the war. New lampshades were made with limited resources, all by hand, due to the lack of available materials. As an autodidact, he designed modern and convenient lighting through intense study and ‘learning by doing’. Soon after, Giuseppe set up his own workshop in 1947, and in 1948 he officially registered his company ‘O-LUCE’. Together with his brother Angelo, who made a great part of the lighting drawings, he worked on numerous designs and worked together with leading designers as Franco Buzzi, Tito Angoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and more.

He made his entrance as an industrial designer at General Motors and subsequently started assisting furniture designers Carl Malmsten (1888-1972) and Werner West (1890-1959). In 1951, he established his own company ‘Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB’ in Markaryd, Sweden.

Jakobsson created a diversity of pendants, floor lamps, wall lamps, and table lamps that showcase a penchant for diverse materials and forms, as well as a deep understanding of lighting effects.

Rather than treating the lamp as a static furnishing object, Ostuni conceived it as a flexible tool capable of adapting to changing needs and environments.

Instead, it responded to the changing realities of modern interiors, where flexibility and efficiency increasingly became desirable qualities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis element of playfulness and transformation gives the lamp much of its enduring appeal.

Angelo Ostuni was born in Trieste, Italy in 1904, when the city was part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Ten years later, the First World War began. In 1915 Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire and soon the Italian army bombed Trieste in May 1915. The Ostuni family endured some difficult times and eventually moved to Milan in 1919. Angelo enrolled into the Instituto Tecnico of Milan. From a young age, he showed a special talent for drawing. La Fiamma Verde, a monthly Italian student magazine, published a few of his drawing during the early 1920s. Later on, he would use his skills to make a great part of the lighting drawings for his brother's company. As a young adult he started working for his father's timber trading company and started to trade antiques on the side. Ostuni lived through the rise of Mussolini's fascist regime and the outbreak of the Second World War. Ninety percent of the Milanese population left the city during the war, but Angelo and his family stayed behind and founded the furniture company ‘Frangi’. In 1945, his brother Giuseppe moved in and together they started to design lighting and furniture. Even though Angelo didn't have a degree in architecture or art, with his natural talent he designed the most versatile interior projects and furniture designs.

After his completion of secondary school in 1927, Hans embarked on an internship at Ystad Metall, a local craft industry situated near his grandfather's farm. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design in Stockholm.

Bergström undertook various commissions spanning a wide range of architectural environments, including churches, private residences, and public buildings.

But Frank´s criticism on modern architecture and design during the early 1930s made him far less popular, and eventually led to his important contributions not been acknowledged in earlier studies. For Josef Frank, the centre of modernism was about history and the culture of everyday life instead of art and technology; a statement that in the 1930s was quite radical, as it fades away the boundaries between high and low culture. Born in a small Austrian spa town called ‘Baden’ in 1885, Josef Frank grew up in a middle-class Jewish family. On the age of eighteen, Frank enrolled in the architecture faculty at the Technische Hochschule or Polytechnic Insitute in Vienna. He specialized in interior design and single-family houses. His clientele largely came from upper-middle-class families. Instead of dedicating to the Jugendstil principles, which was popular during the ‘Fin de Siècle’ era in Austria, Frank substituted an eclectic style inspired on a variety of practices.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1933, Josef Frank and his Swedish wife Anna emigrated to Sweden, as they sensed a volatile political situation in Central Europe and the growing fascist movement, years before the Nazi regime emerged in Germany. The Austrian ‘Werkbund’, that was founded in 1912 to encourage collaboration between the arts, crafts and industry, formally split and a ‘New Werkbund’ was organized in 1933. As one of the initiators of the Werkbund, Frank could not ignore the notable anti-Semitic tendency within the organisation and beyond and decided to leave the country. Swedish designer Estrid Ericson (1894-1981) offered him a position as chief designer at her company Svenskt Tenn. Initially, Josef Frank was hired to expand the range of furnishing offered by the company but eventually led to a partnership for over three decades. He abandoned his work as an architect and started to focus on interior and furniture design. Frank introduced a new design vocabulary; colorful, vibrant and he selected a remarkable variety of materials in his furniture designs. Characteristic for his work is his ‘accidental approach’ or ‘accidentism’ as how he ironically called it; it all derives spontaneously and should make the impression as if they originated by chance. He stood against the modernistic believes of the ‘Gesamtkunstwerk' that provides a standard design solution and its pure functionality, and believed that ornament and complexity create peacefulness and therefore freedom.

Only a few years later in 1922, Benito Mussolini became head of the Italian government and began to establish his fascist regime that would last till 1943. During the last year of the Second World War, Giuseppe Ostuni and his family lived with his brother Angelo in Milan. There, Giuseppe started to repair lampshades that had been damaged during the war. New lampshades were made with limited resources, all by hand, due to the lack of available materials. As an autodidact, he designed modern and convenient lighting through intense study and ‘learning by doing’. Soon after, Giuseppe set up his own workshop in 1947, and in 1948 he officially registered his company ‘O-LUCE’. Together with his brother Angelo, who made a great part of the lighting drawings, he worked on numerous designs and worked together with leading designers as Franco Buzzi, Tito Agnoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and more.

His contribution to architecture, furniture design and the arts has been substantial. Born in Milan in 1891, he attended the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he graduated in Architecture in 1921 after serving the military during WWI. He opened his first studio in 1927 in Milan with architect Emilio Lancia. Soon after, he founded Domus magazine in 1928 with Gianni Mazzocchi, which became one of the most prominent European magazines in architecture and design. Ponti participated during the Triennale exhibitions of the 1930's, and later he became a member of the Triennial committee. A significant shift can be distinguished in his designs between the two World Wars. During the early years, Ponti's style positioned between rationalism and Lombard Classicism that came forward in his use of decorative elements in his furniture and objects. Functionality and a pragmatic approach started to play a bigger role in his later designs. His work as a designer fully took off after WWII, and he became an important figure in Italian industrial aesthetics that conquered the international markets in the 1950s. Gio Ponti worked together with many designers, such as Antonio Fornaroli and Alberto Rosselli, and his work has been of great inspiration for even more. A few amongst Ponti's followers are Paolo Buffa, Paco Muñoz and Lina Bo Bardi, as with the latter Ponti worked together on a series of projects during the early period of Bo Bardi's career.

Lelii's designs were widely acclaimed and have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He is considered to be an important figure in the history of Italian design and is remembered for his contributions to the field of lighting design. Arredoluce was a pioneering company in the world of Italian lighting design during the 1950s and 1960s. Founded by Angelo Lelii, Arredoluce was based in Monza and known for its skilled craftsmen who could bring the most cutting-edge lighting designs to life, of which this floor lamp is a prime example. The construction embodies a well-balanced appearance based on sharp lines and circular shapes. The lampshade is executed in an off-white crème colored lacquered aluminum and is suspended by elongated metal rods that rest on a ‘T’- shaped base. The cylindrical shaped rod in brass functions as a counterweight, which allows the user to direct the light in any preferred direction. The lamp can be turned on\/off with the original foot switch in brass with the manufacturer’s mark impressed underneath. The design of this light is simplistic, with a clear focus on the essential elements, reinforced by the intricate geometry and touch of color. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor many years, the Televisione lamp was associated with the work of Ettore Sottsass Jr. This association likely arose because the lamp incorporates design elements similar to those found in a lamp designed by Sottsass. It is possible the lamp could have originated as a design by Sottsass that was later set aside and subsequently reinterpreted by Lelii. This instance of \"design permeability\", where aspects of Sottsass's style were echoed in Lelii's work, hints at a friendly and trusting relationship between the two designers. It suggests that Sottsass was either unbothered by, or perhaps even supportive of, Lelii drawing inspiration from his designs. In a private conversation with a gallery owner, Sottsass clarified that the Televisione lamp was in fact Lelii’s creation. By setting the record straight, Sottsass not only showed humility but also a deep respect for his colleague, ensuring that Lelii received the credit he deserved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Angelo Lelii (1911-1979) was born in Ancona, Italy. After his studies at the Superior Institute of Industrial Art, Milan, he lived and worked in Monza. From 1943, Lelii started manufacturing lamps in his own house and in 1946 he advertised his well-known 'Tris' lamp in Domus magazine. It was in 1947 that he founded Arredoluce in Monza, a premier manufacturer of furniture and lighting. In the same year, he exhibited the lamp 12128 at the VII Triennale di Milano, which became known as the Triennale floor lamp. He became an influential designer in Postwar Italy, especially in the field of modern lighting design. During the 1950s, Arredoluce started to collaborate with designers such as Franco Albini, Achille Castiglioni, Gio Ponti, and Ettore Sottsass and also began to experiment with halogen light bulbs for his designs, which lead to the recognizable Arredoluce switch. Thanks to Angelo Lelii’s unique approach to design, Arredoluce quickly built a reputation for creating premium quality products based on clean, simple, and functional designs. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55345897898327,"sku":null,"price":33000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50117315_St_P_14.jpg?v=1791558369"},{"product_id":"swedish-modern-floor-lamp-in-brass-and-steel-with-fabric-shades","title":"Swedish Modern Floor Lamp in Brass and Steel with Fabric Shades","description":"Floor lamp, brass, steel, fabric, Sweden, circa 1950s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis elegant Swedish floor lamp combines dark steel with warm brass details and softly textured fabric shades.
