This striking Brutalist lamp from the 1970s is a sculptural composition of light and texture, crafted in the style of Albano Poli, the renowned Italian designer known for his architectural lighting and artistic metalwork. The piece features an intricate, blackened iron structure with striking geometric cutouts, topped with three hand-blown glass shades that combine transparency with subtle amber tones.
Influenced by the Brutalist artistic movement, designers like Albano Poli redefined lighting through expressive materials and handcrafted techniques. Working primarily in Verona, Poli and his studio, Poliarte, became known for merging iron, glass, and light into architectural art forms. This lamp reflects that same philosophy, balancing strength and refinement, structure and emotion, and capturing the spirit of Italian decorative design from the 1970s.
Each glass element captures and reflects light with remarkable depth, creating a warm, atmospheric glow that contrasts beautifully with the robust, industrial frame. The result is a piece that feels both raw and refined, embodying the expressive energy of Italian brutalism.
Perfect as a statement piece in a modern interior or design-focused space. This lamp transcends functionality and stands as an illuminated sculpture, a testament to craftsmanship and artistic form.
