Italian Brass + Opaline Glass Table Lamp by Ignazio Gardella for Azucena, 1950s

$4,000.00

Originally designed in 1956, the Arenzano table lamp takes its name from the Ligurian town where Ignazio Gardella realized several of his celebrated works. Its straightforward silhouette is elevated by thoughtful detail: a domed opaline glass shade swelling in soft curvature, crowned by a looped brass finial. The slender brass stem is grounded by a circular base.

When lit, the opaline glass diffuses a warm, atmospheric glow—an expression of Gardella’s architectural ethos translated into light.
