RARE BRUTALIST WALL LAMP BY MARCELLO FANTONI — ITALY, 1970s
Studio Haag is proud to present a sculptural masterpiece of mid-century Italian lighting.
Designed by the iconic Marcello Fantoni, this rare Brutalist wall lamp is a striking composition of black-brown metal cylinders and perforated copper rods, housing warm amber lenses that emit a soft, golden glow. The result is a bold and atmospheric piece, equal parts lighting and wall sculpture.
Attributed to the Fantoni Ceramic Studio in Florence, this lamp dates from the 1970s and showcases the artist’s unique fusion of form, texture, and light. Fantoni, who founded the International School of Ceramic Art in Florence in 1970, was known for blurring the boundaries between art and design. His works are held in prestigious collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
With its torch-cut steel structure, Murano-style glass, and dynamic geometric rhythm, this wall lamp is a rare example of Italian Brutalism at its most refined. A powerful statement piece that radiates warmth, craftsmanship, and architectural drama—ideal for collectors and interiors with a bold, artistic edge.
Minimal trace of age or use.
