About the Item
Designed by Paolo Caliari for Linea T Milano in the 1970s, this elegant desk lamp captures the refined technical aesthetic that defined Italian industrial design during the decade. The sleek aluminium shade, pierced with rhythmic light slits, rests on a sculptural curved frame that gives the lamp a sense of weightless balance.
The design merges functional precision with poetic restraint a hallmark of Italian modernism in lighting. Its silhouette evokes quiet sophistication, making it equally suited for a workspace or contemporary interior.
About the designer
Paolo Caliari was part of the generation of Italian designers who sought harmony between technology, craftsmanship, and emotion. His work for Linea T Milano embodies the era’s exploration of form and light minimalist yet expressive, industrial yet graceful. Lamps such as this one reflect a timeless understanding of proportion and purpose.
