Mid-Century Adjustable Orange Metal and Aluminum Table Lamp by Bruno Gatta for Stilnovo, 1960s

Amazing mid-century orange metal and aluminum adjustable table lamp. This wonderful item was produced in Italy during the 1960s for Stilnovo. This fantastic piece presents unique and very elegant lines and an astonishing orange tone. A magnificent table lamp that will enrich a modern or mid-century studio. Along with news in the lighting sector and the Milano Design Week events, Euroluce 2019 will be remembered for the acquisition of the historic brand Stilnovo by Linea Light Group. If post World War I Italy gained notoriety on an international level thanks to the combination of the budding industrial design and the most famous names in contemporary architecture, Stilnovo was one of the first companies to transfer this blend to the lighting sector. Since then, the brand has always provided its own original response to the social, aesthetic and functional needs of each decade, relying on names of the calibre of Castiglioni, Aulenti, Colombo, Sottsass, De Pas, D’Urbino & Lomazzi and Gorgoni. The grafting of Linea Light into this decades-long history takes on the flavour of a fundamental event to take this cultural heritage into the future, a heritage made up of experiences, undisputed protagonists and iconic products. And the goal of the Veneto company is to relaunch Stilnovo conscientiously and respectfully, bringing it back onto the pitch with renewed energy, an energy in terms of both technology and finances. Linea Light and Stilnovo: the combination of a brand that has made history in Italian design and a group founded thirty years ago, consistently increasing in popularity to the point of becoming a protagonist on the contemporary scene with products capable of offering ultra-high performance behind personal and cutting-edge aesthetics. And yet, looking back, it is clear that the mission Bruno Gatta set up in 1946 when he founded Stilnovo in Lainate for the production of lamps for civil and industrial use, is perfectly in line with Linea Light’s mission: a solid and modern company which has made the blend of technology and design its manifesto, boasting important international references and prestigious awards, including the 2018 Compasso d’Oro honourable mention, achieved by the Diphy lamp. The process by which the iconic Stilnovo products will be edited by Linea Light will therefore be more natural than ever, integrating skills and cutting-edge scientific know-how into the production procedure, all in full analytical and philological respect for the original products.
