Item description

Biagio is probably among the most beautiful lamps ever made, a piece of Italian design history known throughout the world. A historic and very valuable product, Biagio is a direct-light table lamp designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1968 for Flos. It is a true icon of modern design, obtained through the working of a single block of Italian Botticino marble to obtain its characteristic sinuous and sculptural lines. A true sculpture that represents luxury while attracting attention thanks to its unique shape characterized by brilliant curves. A striking presence in any environment: an important lamp whether off or on. During the day, the marble shines and the effect is one of great delicacy; when it is lit, it does not seem to illuminate the room but to speak! The light that pierces the marble and features its transparency emphasizing the natural veining gives the lamp an artistic, poetic and unique effect, making each piece unique and unrepeatable! A lamp of exceptional beauty, very elegant, unique for the choice of the finest Botticino marble and with a fascinating and modern silhouette. Because of its lines, shapes, and the techniques used, it seems impossible to believe that it was produced in the late 1960s, but the visionary genius of Tobia Scarpa really gave us this icon of design capable of surprising us even today. The extremely particular shape of this lamp gives us two points of light that allow it to illuminate in a direct and important way the space in which it is located. The soft curves play in contrast to the solidity of the marble and seem to draw the profile of ancient fossil shells as if we were in the presence of a spontaneous and primordial light. The Biagio lamp by Flos is able to evoke distant emotions and images and make the space in which it is located extremely personal. The Biagio lamp emits a soft directional light, weighs 7 kg and is absolutely out of the ordinary as well as important. New with box. Dimensions: H. 34.5 cm - L. base 13 cm - Lampshade diameter 38.5 cm. Botticino marble is a natural stone of Italian origin, very fine-grained and beige in color, sometimes with beautiful golden accents. Botticino marble is characterized, depending on the quarry of origin and the block, by beautiful lighter-colored clouds and darker veins that give personality to the material and make it the perfect stone material for realizations with a classic and traditional character, with a Mediterranean flair.
