The Kandido table lamp, designed by F.A. Porsche for the Italian manufacturer Luci in 1983, is a striking example of industrial design from the 1980s. This specific model combines a sleek, geometric design language with a functional, adjustable construction, making it a recognizable and sought-after piece in design history.
The lamp is crafted from metal and plastic, executed in a predominantly black and silver finish. The design is characterized by a triangular base and three extendable, telescopic arms that support the light source, allowing the height and angle of the light to be adjusted as desired. The original markings and specifications, including 'Luci', 'Kandido', and 'Design by F.A. Porsche', are clearly visible on the underside of the base, confirming the object's authenticity.
The object is in good condition, commensurate with its age and previous use. The construction is intact and the telescopic arms function properly. The original finish has been preserved, contributing to the authentic character of this vintage design piece. This Kandido lamp comes into its own perfectly in a modern, industrial, or eclectic interior. It is a functional lighting object that also serves as a sculptural element on a desk, sideboard, or side table.
