Velella lamp by Flos designed by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1967
The white opaline glass diffuser has the characteristic dome shape that resembles a jellyfish
The Velella represents one of the Castiglioni brothers' masterpieces for Flos and is considered a classic of 1960s Italian design. Its innovative lighting system for the time originally featured a dual light source, with fluorescent light for diffuse lighting and incandescent light for warmer, more direct lighting. The visible bulb is with E27 connection, while internally a 32W circular neon is mounted
This lamp can be used both as a wall sconce and as a ceiling ceiling light, making it extremely versatile for different types of environments. Its clean, minimalist shape fits perfectly into both modern and vintage-flavored interiors, always maintaining a strong decorative character
The lamp is in excellent condition and maintains its original functionality. Opal glass shows no peeling or signs of wear, retaining its milky transparency. The surface is perfectly smooth and uniform, without scratches or dulling, except for a few slight marks near the lamp holder
