The Lesbo lamp is one of the symbols of Made in Italy design of the 70s. Important from the name, the Greek island where the poet Sappho lived, the project combines some recurring themes in the work of the designer: the wise use of glass and the sculptural mushroom shape. It consists of a simple ring base in chromed metal that supports the diffuser, made of mouth blown Murano glass to create evocative interactions with the light. The white surface of the diffuser has a gradation that allows to hide the light source and at the same time helps to direct the beam upwards. The effect is perfect for an atmospheric lamp, with the emission of a soft light that enhances the material characteristics of the glass. This piece has an attribution mark,
