Tearsheet
Pendant light, brass, enameled aluminum, satin glass, Italy, 1950s

A refined pendant lamp from 1950s Italy, this piece captures the essence of mid-century modern design. A broad, flat, and gently convex aluminum dome is paired with a smaller brass diffuser, perforated to cast a soft halo of light when illuminated. Below, a delicate two-pronged hook curves outward, adding a subtle ornamental touch. The brass cylinder functions as a counterweight, enabling the user to adjust the height of the light source and keep the pendant in place. The design closely recalls the iconic work of Gaetano Scolari for Stilnovo, suggesting a shared lineage within the broader context of postwar Italian modernism.
