About the Item
Gianni Gamberini
Gruppo A.R.D.I.T.I. “B.T.” table lamp for Nucleo Sormani, metal and wood, 1971.
This extraordinary "B.T." table lamp transcends mere illumination, establishing itself as a sculptural attestation to the scientific and exploratory spirit of Italian design. A product of the radical A.R.D.I.T.I. Group, this lamp embodies a philosophy that placed light at the forefront of artistic expression, a notion that continues to resonate today.
The lamp's form is a n enticing synergy of materials. A sleek triangular prism of rich oak wood serves as its foundation, its interior cradling the magic. Within, a mesmerizing dance of light unfolds. Two Lucite luminous elements, imbued with a modern luminescence, defy convention. Freed from the constraints of a fixed position, these elements pirouette across the steel canvas, guided solely by the invisible hand of magnetism. This ingenious use of magnetic induction allows for a symphony of lighting configurations, empowering the user to tailor the lamp's character to their whim.
The "B.T." model lamp invites engagement with the very essence of design. Its transformative nature and sculptural presence elevate it to the status of an artistic focal point. This lamp is not merely for illuminating a room but for igniting the imagination.
Studio Arditi was among the first to experiment with low voltage, offering lamps that not only illuminate, but play with surfaces and space. The "B.T." lamp patent by Duccio Trassinelli produced by Sormani in 1972 and in the permanent collection of the MoMA, New York and the Center Pompidou, Paris.
The set is available in New York.

Located in Lonigo, Veneto
Luigi Caccia Dominioni "Porcino" table lamp for Azucena, glass and steel, Italy, 1966.
The Luigi Caccia Dominioni "Porcino" Table Lamp, designed in 1966 for Azucena, takes its name from the valuable "porcino" mushroom, reflecting the lamp's distinctive rounded shape. Its cylindrical chrome-plated brass base and socket support a spherical frosted glass diffuser with an opening at the base, recalling the mushroom's cap. The frosted glass softens the light for a gentle glow, while the smooth, unworked band at the base enhances its sculptural presence. This design plays with light and shadow, highlighting the lamp's architectural precision. The Porcino lamp...

B.T. Promotional Table Lamps by Duccio Trassinelli for Sormani
By Gruppo Arditi and Gianni Gamberini
Located in Saint-Ouen, IDF
A pair of B.T. promotional table lamps, designed by Duccio Trassinelli in 1971, a founding member of studio A.R.D.I.T.I., produced by Sormani SPA. These lamps were created as promotional items to demonstrate Trassinelli's innovative technique, which involves a low-voltage current flowing between two steel plates through randomly positioned electromagnetic components.
The components are completely safe to touch, and each methacrylate bulb holder can be positioned anywhere on the steel plate.
In 2005, these lamps were restored by Duccio Trassinelli himself and were acquired directly from him.
Each lamp comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a copy of the related patent for the mechanism, also issued by the artist.
These lamps, along with related works, are part of the permanent collections at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York...
