Exceptional and very rare bright object designed by Aldo Tura in the 1950s, this snail -shaped table lamp fully embodies the experimental and visionary spirit of the Milanese designer, known for his works poised between art and design.
Made of finely modeled solid wood, the body takes on the fluid and poetic shape of a snail, whose shell is entirely covered in natural parchment (goat skin), with extraordinary material shades and a warm and velvety patina.
The snail elegantly holds a wooden and burnished brass lantern, inside which a paper lampshade spreads a soft and amber light, amplifying the dreamlike atmosphere of the whole.
The entire object is a masterful example of the formal and material research of Aldo Tura, famous for the use of unusual materials and for its almost artistic approach to furnishings.
His creations are now exhibited in important international museums, including the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and increasingly sought after by collectors, curators and specialized galleries.
This lamp, a single piece currently on the market, is not documented in serial productions and presents itself in impeccable vintage conditions.
A collector's work, perfect for sophisticated environments, theatrical scenography of the newspaper or post -war Italian design installations.
