The story

Superb floor lamp designed by Emilio Lancia in the mid-1940s. This model is distinguished by a rigorously architectured vertical composition. The polygonal-section shaft adopts a slender line that asserts Lancia’s characteristic pursuit of balance and monumentality. The piece perfectly embodies the designer’s Italian Art Deco language: refined proportions, discreet linear ornamentation, and the combination of noble materials within a controlled restraint. The mirrored surface is adorned with gilt fillets and stylized geometric motifs, arrows, part of a measured and symmetrical decorative vocabulary. The circular painted wood base ensures structural stability while reinforcing the chromatic contrast. Its hemispherical opaline glass diffuser, mounted on a brass head, softens the light. The lamp has been fully restored, the brass elements repolished, and fully re-electrified.

About Emilio Lancia

Milanese architect Emilio Lancia (1890-1973) belonged to the Novecento generation that renewed Italian decorative arts between the wars. In the late 1920s he worked in partnership with Gio Ponti, notably on the Domus Nova furniture line for the La Rinascente department store, before pursuing his own architecture and interiors. His furniture combines neoclassical memory with modern simplicity. Collectors look for documented interwar pieces in fine veneers and later designs with bold, sculptural profiles.
