Table lamp in opal glass and metal.
Gae Aulenti designed the floor version (Oracolo) and table version (Mezzo Oracolo) at … more Table lamp in opal glass and metal.
Gae Aulenti designed the floor version (Oracolo) and table version (Mezzo Oracolo) at the end of the 1960s and the lamps entered Artemide's production starting from 1970/71. The base consists of a brown painted metal cylinder, with a perforated metal band with a light brass patina. A large opaline glass globe is mounted on this base, fixed with hidden screws.
Our lamp is in perfect conditions: the metal part has no scratches or color detachments. The perforated metal part has very light signs of wear. The cable is probably not original: in fact it features a dimmer, without the Artemide logo, from the US, which was not included in the original version.
Gae Aulenti was born in 1927 in Palazzolo dello Stella in the province of Udine.
She graduated at Politecnico di Milano in 1953 and since then she has been working in the fields of architectural design, urban planning, interior and industrial design, theatrical scenography.
Since the early years, her projects express the desire to link together multiple aspects of the architectural discipline. Numerous industrial design products were created to complete architectural projects. Among the most famous there are lamps "Pipistrello" and "King Sun" for the Olivetti Showrooms in Paris and Buenos Aires (1966-67) and, with Piero Castiglioni, the lamp "Bugia" for Musée d'Orsay (Paris, 1986) and "Cestello" for Palazzo Grassi (Venice, 1986).
