A rare and captivating pair of vintage table lamps from the historic Lampoon series, designed by renowned architect and designer Aldo Cibic (founder of the Memphis Group with Ettore Sottsass) and produced by Foscarini. These lamps stand out for their unmistakable postmodern and organic style, which challenges traditional geometric forms. The bulbous diffuser is made entirely of high-quality, cased and etched (satin) glass, featuring a wavy, irregular surface dotted with distinctive raised protuberances. This unique glass texture allows for an extremely warm, soft, and enveloping light, completely eliminating glare. The light fixtures rest on a refined metal structure composed of a thin central stem and an exclusive, contoured base with sinuous, asymmetrical lines, echoing the fluid silhouette of the upper lampshade. When turned on, the amber hue and soft light transform this pair of lamps into true, atmospheric luminous sculptures. Technical Data and Condition: Manufacturer: Foscarini (Italy). Designer: Aldo Cibic (Lampoon Series). Period: Late 1980s/1990s (Italian Postmodern). Material: Acid-etched, cased artistic glass, painted metal. Condition: Excellent overall vintage condition. The glass is perfectly intact on both lamps, with no chips or cracks. The electrical systems are functioning with original wiring, featuring a switch on a transparent cable. Styling Tip: An ideal pair to add a touch of modernist flair to a living room sideboard, a console table in the entryway, or to create sophisticated symmetry on a bedroom bedside table. A coordinated set with a high collectible value, perfect for lovers of great avant-garde Italian design by Foscarini.
