Extraordinary lamp by the master Theodore Waddell designed with Dante Baldini between 1969 and 1971.
Ingeniously conceived with "sticks" that light up when leaning against the sculpture.
Rare and prestigious lamp permanently exhibited at the Moma in New York. The lower cylindrical metal plate of the lamp sends a very small amount of current through the lower tips of the "lamp rods", illuminating the small bulbs enclosed in the center.
The lighting rods are modular and can be pulled out and rearranged at will. Theodore Waddell named it the Elettra lamp after the ELETTRA synchrotron light laboratory, a laboratory located in Basovizza, on the outskirts of Trieste, Italy.
Materials: Chrome-plated steel, glass and plastic.
Excellent condition, sticks all working, unobtainable in this size and with so many sticks both colored and white light. Each stick measures 27 cm approx).
