About the Item
Table lamp model 442, designed by the celebrated Italian designer Oscar Torlasco and produced by LUMI Milano in 1957. This iconic piece embodies the refined elegance and innovative spirit of mid-century Italian design, seamlessly merging sculptural form with practical functionality.
The lamp features a brass structure with a distinctive, sculptural silhouette, paired with an opaque ivory aluminum shade. Its unique design includes an adjustable tilting shade, allowing the light to be directed with precision while adding a dynamic and architectural quality to its composition.
Equipped with three E14 bulb sockets, the lamp offers excellent illumination while maintaining its elegant proportions. The black circular base creates a striking contrast with the warm antique gold finish of the brass stem and the soft opaque ivory of the shade, resulting in a harmonious and timeless aesthetic.
All components of this lamp are completely original, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors. The model 442 stands as a significant example of collectible Italian design, representing the superior craftsmanship and enduring quality of LUMI Milano.
