Stilnovo avolo lamp in marble, brass and plexiglass, 1950s
Elegant table lamp produced by Stilnovo in the 1950s, a testament to refined mid-century Italian design. This model stands out for its balanced textural composition and purity of form: the round white marble base dialogues harmoniously with the brass stem and cylindrical white opal Plexiglas diffuser. With an overall height of 73 cm and a diameter of 37 cm, the lamp retains its original brass push-button switch, a detail that underscores the authenticity of the piece and its collectible value. The inner structure of the lampshade reveals a sophisticated metal concentric ring support system, typical of Stilnovo's high-quality production. The understated yet sophisticated design makes it ideal for both classic and contemporary settings, perfect as a spotlight on a console, nightstand or study desk. Founded in Milan in 1946 by Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo is one of the most emblematic companies of 20th-century Italian design. Active mainly between the 1950s and 1970s, he collaborated with names such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, and Ettore Sottsass, becoming a symbol of technological and formal innovation in lighting. Stilnovo products are distinguished by geometric rigor, experimentation with modern materials, and handcrafted attention to detail. Today his creations are sought after by collectors and featured in the collections of major design museums.
