Product description
Green glass table lamp, 'Carina' model designed by Giampiero Tonetti in the 1980s. Ø 12 cm, H 27 cm.
Giampiero (or Gianpietro) Tonetti is an Italian designer, born in Cremona in 1958. He lives and works in Lodi. He is primarily known for his work in product design, rather than fine arts (such as painting or sculpture). His design career began in 1977 as a freelance consultant for furniture companies. In 1983, he founded his studio, Dimensioni s.a.s., which became Tonetti Design s.a.s. in 2011.
Tonetti's work has encompassed various industrial sectors, ranging from furniture to the design of a wide array of consumer products. He has developed a solid technical understanding of production processes and material potential, evident in his designs. His primary field is industrial design, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing products for various sectors. He designs furniture (such as low tables), lighting (such as desk lamps), and other consumer goods.
He won the Compasso d'Oro in 1989 for "Boomerang," a system of drawers for pharmacies produced by Icas. The Compasso d'Oro is one of the most prestigious design awards in Italy.
He has designed for various brands, including Progetti (for which he designed the "Cosi" desk lamp in the 1980s), F.lli Orsenigo, Makris, Stiliac, Dexo, and Gedy. His designs often utilize materials such as acrylic glass (PMMA), metal (steel), wood (oak, MDF), glass, ceramic, natural stone (marble), and vegetable fibers (rope). Some of his works, such as the "Cosi" desk lamp, are characterized by a postmodern style, especially those from the 1980s.
