Its cylindrical chrome-plated brass base and socket support a spherical frosted glass diffuser with an opening at the base, recalling the mushroom's cap. The frosted glass softens the light for a gentle glow, while the smooth, unworked band at the base enhances its sculptural presence. This design plays with light and shadow, highlighting the lamp's architectural precision. The Porcino lamp showcases Caccia Dominioni's commitment to blending avant-garde design with high-quality craftsmanship. The lamp is part of the iconic collection created by Caccia Dominioni after co-founding Azucena in 1947 alongside Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua. Known for its innovative furniture and lighting, Azucena became a cornerstone of modern Italian design. Caccia Dominioni's collaborations with major designers like the Castiglioni brothers and Vico Magistretti helped shape his design philosophy - focused on rigorous formal simplicity and attention to detail. The Porcino series also includes floor lamp versions, maintaining the same sculptural clarity and minimalist appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56762658849141,"sku":null,"price":5100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/01_d2267463-cfa5-4b51-b6f9-fa266bf81959.jpg?v=1771520655"},{"product_id":"gianni-gamberini-gruppo-a-r-d-i-t-i-b-t-lamp-for-nucleo-sormani-1971","title":"Gianni Gamberini \u0026 Gruppo A.R.D.I.T.I. \"B.T.\" Lamp for Nucleo Sormani, 1971","description":"\u003cp\u003eGianni Gamberini \u0026amp; Gruppo A.R.D.I.T.I. \"B.T.\" table lamp for Nucleo Sormani, metal and wood, 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary \"B.T.\" table lamp transcends mere illumination, establishing itself as a sculptural attestation to the scientific and exploratory spirit of Italian design.

Two Lucite luminous elements, imbued with a modern luminescence, defy convention. Freed from the constraints of a fixed position, these elements pirouette across the steel canvas, guided solely by the invisible hand of magnetism.

Constructed from polished tubular brass in a rectilinear composition, the lamp forms two interlocking rectangles—one suspended within the other—mounted on a black lacquered base. The structural frame doubles as a support and a lighting element, housing linear light tubes that emphasize the clarity of the design.\u003cbr\u003eThe composition is rigorous yet expressive: a grid reduced to essentials, where line becomes light and volume becomes void. The piece anticipates later experiments by designers such as Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò, while aligning with the rationalist aesthetics of the Union des Artistes Modernes, of which Adnet was a prominent member.\u003cbr\u003eAdnet (1900–1984) was a leading figure in French modernism, known for his refined use of materials and formal innovation. His work spans from Art Deco interiors to avant-garde collaborations with Hermes and La Compagnie des Arts Français.

A small white tab projects from the underside of each shade, a functional detail original to the design.

Mazzega, the Murano firm where, from the mid-1960s into the 1980s, he produced an entire generation of lamps under conditions of considerable creative freedom.

The mushroom-shaped lamp, issued in several sizes under the Mazzega catalog, became one of the more widely recognized results of this collaboration, its soft dome and glowing stem translating the rounded, organic vocabulary of the period into blown glass.
