Table Lamp — Raw Travertine — AREA Illuminazione — Italy, circa 1970
690 €
Remarkable pyramidal lamp base of square section, hewn from a block of unfilled Roman travertine displaying its characteristic horizontal veining, alternating warm ochre and beige.
The surface retains its natural cavities, a deliberate treatment that lends the piece its sculptural power and firmly situates it within the brutalist and mineral aesthetic of Italian design of the 1970s.
The shaft tapers progressively from base to crown in an obelisk-like movement of great geometric rigour.
