This is a set of two Meridiana desk lamps, designed by the celebrated Austrian-Italian architect and designer Paolo Piva for Stefano Cevoli. Produced in Italy during the 1980s, this pair embodies the geometric purity and functional elegance characteristic of the Postmodern era. The Meridiana model is a well-regarded example of Piva's contribution to lighting design, known for its balanced form and minimalist silhouette. Each lamp is constructed from lacquered metal, presented in a clean, white finish. The design features a stable, hemispherical base that mirrors the form of the adjustable, dome-shaped shade. A slender, articulated arm connects the two elements, allowing for the direction of light to be easily manipulated for task-oriented illumination. The design's clever engineering and simple lines are a testament to the principles of Italian industrial design of the period. The lamps are in good vintage condition, showing signs of use consistent with their age. They retain their original finish and structural integrity, and both are in working order. The character of the pieces reflects their history and authentic provenance from the 1980s design landscape. This pair of lamps would serve as an excellent addition to a home office, studio, or as reading lights on a pair of nightstands. Their timeless design complements a range of interior styles, from minimalist and contemporary to a curated Postmodern or 1980s-inspired space. This light can rotate 180 degrees and the cap is also adjustable. Dimensions: h x d = 54 x 15 cm.
