WONDERFUL 20thC ITALIAN NINE-LEAF FLOOR LAMP BY TOMMASO BARBI c.1970
A wonderful 9-leaf floor lamp by Tommaso Barbi with attachments for 9 lights, the brass structure supporting pressed brass leaves. The length of each leaf can be adjusted slightly thanks to a telescopic thread at the base of each. Once lit it creates a rich yet soft light source, a spectacular addition to any interior whether modern or traditional. Tommaso Barbi was a prominent Italian artist and designer of the mid to late 20th century. This lamp is one of the most revered designs which perfectly exemplify his work, mixing mid century modernism and functionality with inspirations from the natural world.
