Luna Orizzontale Lamp 1 by Gio Ponti

This stunning table lamp was designed by Italian master Gio Ponti. It is part of the Luna collection, featuring a poetically rendition of the shape and glow of the moon ("luna" in Italian). The three-legged structure in polished brass contains the elliptical shade in plastic of two different colors. The structure seems to pierce the shade and prolongs vertically with one element, strikingly evoking the images of the moon landing. First introduced at the Triennale in Milan in 1957, this piece will be a superb addition in a contemporary home.
