About the Item
This exceptional table lamp was designed by Angelo Brotto for Esperia and represents a refined synthesis of sculpture, material research, and architectural balance. Featuring a solid travertine base and an elegant vertical brass structure, the lamp is distinguished by a striking sculptural element placed at its center: a hand-worked and fully sculpted brass sphere.
The sphere’s raw, irregular surface recalls the expressive language of Arnaldo Pomodoro, evoking a geological or cosmic presence through its tactile, almost molten texture. This sculptural accent transforms the lamp into a true objet d’art, blurring the boundary between functional lighting and collectible sculpture.
The lamp is completed by its original cotton and linen lampshade, which diffuses a warm, soft light and complements the richness of the materials without overpowering the composition. The contrast between the porous travertine base, the polished brass stem, and the organically textured central sphere creates a dynamic interplay of surfaces and light.
The lamp retains its original Esperia label, still present on the brass lampholder, further confirming its authenticity and direct provenance from the manufacturer. This original marking underscores the piece’s archival nature and reinforces its status as an untouched example from Esperia’s production.
This piece comes from an old stock directly from Esperia’s factory and was never sold or installed. It was already wired for the United States, likely intended for a specific commission that was never completed or shipped, making it a particularly rare and compelling find.
Dimensions:
Total height: 60 cm
Shade diameter: 35 cm
Travertine base diameter: 16 cm
A rare and highly evocative lamp, embodying Angelo Brotto’s sculptural sensibility and Esperia’s commitment to material excellence. A special piece, ideal for collectors and interiors that value Italian design, authenticity, and strong sculptural presence.
