Pendant lamp, model 1933, by Lorenzo Burchiellaro. Like all his creations, this lamp, produced in the 1970s, perfectly represents the transition from work of art to functional design object. The pendant lamp is composed of a series of curved laminated aluminum and metal elements arranged symmetrically around a central structure. These elements form a sort of three-dimensional metal "corolla." Burchiellaro did not view metal as a cold or industrial material, but as a living organism. His specialty was the manipulation of surfaces: he was not content to simply give the object a shape, but transformed its "skin" through incisions, oxidations, burning, and layering, characteristics evident in this pendant lamp.
