Pamono Mid-Century Italian Space Age Glass Floor Lamp, 1960s

Very rare floor lamp in opal glass and chrome. Designers or manufacturers are not identified. Formal language and execution indicate Italian origin (Mazzega, Vistosi, Valenti, etc.). The metal ribs are known from Enrico Tronconi.

This rare lamp impresses with its materiality of chrome and glass as well as its organic design language. The luminaire body is divided into 3 elements made of glass, which are segmented with chrome rings. The separation between the bodies is not visible. Rather, the illusion of a continuous vitreous is created. The vitreous are illuminated from the inside with 2 lamps each. The lamp is closed with a white funnel, which serves as a ceiling flooder. The light stages the shape of the entire luminaire body and at the same time immerses the room in a special lighting mood.
The reserved ornamentation particularly catches the eye. The accents made of fine chrome ribs act depending on the perspective like dense windows or inconspicuous lines. The lamp has 7 focal points that can be switched individually. A light source (E27) serves as a floodter, the other light sources (6x E14) illuminate the interior. The lamp has a double foot switch to be able to switch the flooder and lower part of the lamp separately or together.
