Product description
Italian work, 1968
H 55 x D 13 cm
Molded ABS, opaline diffuser
Very good condition
A cylinder with a rounded cap, placed in a circular base where it pivots freely: the lamp stands up, lies down, and changes its lighting depending on the angle given to it. The body is pierced with a column of small holes that let light pass through in points, while the upper part diffuses it widely.
Designed in 1968 by Cesare Casati and Emanuele Ponzio under the name Studio D.A., the Pillola is one of the objects that introduced molded plastic into Italian furniture: pill shape, mass production, and the choice to be viewed in groups rather than individually. It is featured in public collections, including that of the Museum of Fine Arts de Houston.
This piece bears the embossed mark « collezione noi — design studio D.A. » under its base. It is presented alone; the Pillola is often found in series of several pieces.
