Product description
This piece is not only a lighting object — it’s a collectible statement of radical 1960s Italian design, celebrating imagination, utility, and sculptural presence.
The Giova lamp is a luminous sculpture — part lamp, part vase — and one of the most poetic expressions of Italian design from the 1960s. Designed by Gae Aulenti in 1964, it marks her debut piece for Fontana Arte and captures her talent for blending function with bold, expressive form.
The most amazing and special feature, is that it has 2 functionalities; lighting and a ... vase! The lavender-pink glass bowl resting on top, which also functions as a vase
Dimensions: Height: 26 cm; Diameter: 24 cm
About Gae Aulenti
Gae Aulenti (1927–2012) was a pioneering Italian architect and designer, known for her fearless versatility across scales — from museum architecture to interior objects. One of the few prominent women in a male-dominated postwar design world, she brought theatricality and narrative to modernist principles.
She is best known for transforming Paris’s Musée d’Orsay from a train station into a world-class museum, and for iconic furniture pieces such as the Locus Solus collection and the Pipistrello lamp. The Giova lamp stands out as a vivid example of her poetic and architectural design language.
