Condition report

This is for a rare ‘Vega’ table lamp, manufactured by Metalmobili in Italy, 1973. This lamp stands as a striking example of Italian design from the early 1970s. It is a rare and distinctive piece that embodies the bold experimentation and unique aesthetic that defined the era. The lamp’s design revolves around a sleek metal base finished in a rich black wrinkle paint. This textured surface adds a tactile dimension to the piece, creating a subtle contrast against the 16 cut plexiglass tubes that emanate from the base like modernist rays. Each tube captures and refracts light in its own way, creating an interplay of illumination and shadow that is as captivating as it is unique.

 

The lamp’s geometry and use of materials reflect a bold yet understated style, characteristic of the designers’ work. Its compact footprint makes it a versatile addition to a variety of settings, whether as a focal point on a desk or an accent piece on a side table. Despite its age, this particular model is in fantastic original condition, a testament to the quality of its construction and the care it has received over the years. It operates perfectly, providing a warm, atmospherical light that enhances the ambiance of any room.

 

For collectors of vintage Italian design or those who appreciate the fusion of form and function, the Vega table lamp is a rare find. Its distinctive aesthetic and pristine condition make it a prized addition to any collection or a bold statement piece for a contemporary interior. Metalmobili was a very small Italian manufacturer, specialized in making radical lighting in the 1970s, with very close works to New Lamp, probably drew inspiration from them. Although the quality is very similar, maybe even better.

 

This lamp is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is also suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
