A slim and elegant floor lamp, designed in 1970 by Bruno Gecchelin for Skypper. The advent of the halogen lamp has revolutionized lighting not only in a technical sense but also in style. The power of the halogen lamp with the possibility of being dimmed has reduced the overall dimensions of the lamps; many bulbs or large light diffusers were no longer needed, therefore the shapes become thinner as in our "Mezza Luna" floor lamp. The 500w halogen lamp is contained in an orientable half-moon in white metal thin and light as a paper origami. The dimmer is working and is contained in the metal half moon. It is a black tab, missing cover, which can be moved from right to left to intensify or not the light. The chromed tubular stem that supports the lamp is adjustable in height and is anchored to a splendid base in polished Italian marble. The lamp is working and in good vintage condition. It has a slight dent on the half moon and some scratches on the enamel visible in the photos. The dimmer cover, in silver plastic, is missing but this does not compromise its functioning. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution,
Up to 250V (Europe/UK Standard).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
