Angelo Lelii “Stella a 9” Ceiling Lamp for Arredoluce, 1959
Description
Angelo Lelii “Stella a 9” ceiling lamp for Arredoluce, brass and opaline glass, Italy, 1959
Flush-mount ceiling lamp designed by Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce, Monza, 1959. Nine faceted brass arms radiate from a central hub mounted directly to the ceiling, each terminating in an acid-etched opaline glass globe suspended from a small brass cap fitting. The arms are arranged at varying angles, giving the fixture an asymmetric, almost orbital quality when viewed from below. At the center, a tenth globe hangs directly from the hub on a short knurled brass stem.
The Stella series, produced by Arredoluce in several configurations — four, six, nine and twelve arms — is among Lelii’s most recognized designs and one of the defining ceiling lamps of Italian mid-century lighting. The combination of patinated brass and acid-etched glass is consistent with Arredoluce’s production standards of the late 1950s, a period when the Monza workshop was at its most prolific.
