RARE GAETANO SCIOLARI “HOME” TABLE LAMP FOR ECOLIGHT-MILAN (1968)
A Mid-Century Italian Design Classic
Designed by Gaetano Sciolari and produced by Ecolight-Milan (formerly Valenti) in 1968, this rare “Home” table lamp is a masterful example of Italian mid-century lighting design. Known for his ability to fuse geometric clarity with rich materials, Sciolari created lighting that was both sculptural and luxurious—this model is no exception.
The lamp features a white-lacquered steel base, a milky opaline inner glass diffuser, and an outer light brown Perspex canopy, forming a visually layered composition that softens and diffuses the light beautifully. The result is a warm, ambient glow that enhances the atmosphere without glare, while the Perspex dome adds visual depth and sophistication.
Perfectly proportioned for a sideboard, nightstand, or entryway console, this piece offers both function and artistry. Its elegant silhouette and refined materials make it a versatile accent in both vintage and contemporary interiors.
A rare and highly collectible piece, this lamp represents Sciolari’s unique design language and continues to be sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of mid-century Italian design.
In very good original condition, the lamp does not include an on/off switch—typical of the model—but retains all its essential components, underscoring its authenticity and design integrity.
