Product description
An Absolute Icon of Italian Postmodern Lighting Design by Rodolfo Dordoni
We are thrilled to offer this stunning and highly collectible "Belboi" table lamp, designed in 1985 by the legendary Italian designer Rodolfo Dordoni for the world-renowned Murano glassworks Venini.
This model belongs to the historic and highly acclaimed Tolboi - Belboi - Stilboi trilogy—a landmark collection of blown-glass lighting fixtures that perfectly bridges the gap between ancient Murano craftsmanship and sophisticated mid-century/postmodern aesthetics.
Crafted in 1990, this particular piece features a spectacular, heavy architectural stem with a vibrant cobalt blue core applied while hot and encased within a clear crystal structure. The body rests on an elegant, geometric base with a polished gold-toned metal finish. The lamp is crowned by a magnificent dome shade in satin-finished lattimo (milky white opal) glass, designed to diffuse light with ultimate elegance.
Breathtaking Dimmable Lighting Effect:
This lamp is equipped with a dimmer, allowing you to completely transform the atmosphere of your room. When turned on, it casts a truly magnificent, warm, and enveloping glow. At full power, it brilliantly highlights the contrast between the milky white shade and the deep blue stem; when dimmed down, it creates an intimate, magical, and sculptural ambiance. The light diffusion through the authentic Venini glass is nothing short of breathtaking.
Authenticity & Markings:
This piece is fully authenticated and signed. It features the diamond-point etched signature "venini 90" clearly visible both on the glass stem and on the inside of the Murano glass shade, confirming its precise production year of 1990 and its absolute authenticity.
Condition Report:
The lamp is in excellent vintage condition and fully functional. The Murano glass elements—both the delicate dome shade and the heavy central column—are absolutely flawless, with no chips, cracks, or scratches. As a testament to its 35+ years of history, the brass-finished base shows only a few minor, faint surface marks/light patina, which are entirely normal for its age and do not detract from its striking visual impact.
Dimensions:
Height: ~ 52 cm
Shade Diameter: ∅ 30 cm
The lamp will be packed with utmost care using professional, high-density protective materials and shipped with full insurance to ensure it arrives safely at its new home.
