About the Item
This avantgarde lamp, duly certified by the Producer, was manufactured by Sormani Nucleo in 1972.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston is displaying this masterpiece of the Space Age during the exhibition "Radical: Italian Design 1965–1985, The Dennis Freedman Collection February 14, 2020 — April 26, 2020". This lamp belongs to the private collection of the manufacturer's family.
The lamp has a polished steel prismic base, with six Lucite lighting elements that can be moved in different positions on the cube by means of magnets.
This was a patent of Duccio Trassinelli of Gruppo A.R.D.I.T.I. a radical group of designers that was forty years in advance in conceiving light as a sculptural element, just like it happens today with Oled technology. Luigi Sormani was eager to manufacture such an advanced concept in his Nucleo Division.
The lamp is in very good conditions and bears the original Nucleo label. Cable and internal electrical equipment have been restored.
The lamp comes with a “Certificate of Authenticity” issued on original vintage letterhead of the manufacturer.
