Particularly active during the 1950s and 1960s, Torlasco lighting designs - which span sconces, floor lamps, and chandeliers - often utilized Industrial chromed steel which he paired with more luxurious materials such as marble, crystal, and brass. His eclectic designs ranged in style from Industrial and Space Age to Italian Art decor. The use of optical glass lenses within his designs is considered Torlasco's signature. In 1959, he was awarded a Compasso d`Oro for his public street light Genova 4053 (1959). This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
