Superb 1970s Italian tubular chrome floor or table lamp by Gaetano Sciolari
 
A superb and stylish futuristic Italian tubular chrome floor or table lamp by Gaetano Sciolari c1970.
 
Of ingenious construction and made from highly polished chrome, four vertical tubes are radially projected from a central mounting tube forming a cluster of 9 electric bulbs in differing positions projecting light beams across a room through cut away slots.
 
The stylish design evokes a very similar lighting style utilised in the 1971 James Bond Sean Connery film 'Diamonds are Forever' in Ernst Blofelds lounge.
 
Angelo Gaetano Sciolari is a highly creative Italian designer and entrepreneur. He has made a considerable contribution to the success of Italian design around the world particularly in the United States. During his career, he designed incredible and beautiful lights such as the ‘Mod A5011’ hanging lamp (circa 1950), the ‘4079’ floor lamp (1965), and the Cubic chandelier (the 1970s).
 
Angelo Gaetano Sciolari was born in 1927 in Italy and after he graduated in architecture, the young man came back to his first passion: cinema and filmmaking.  However, after his father’s death in 1949, Sciolari had to manage the family company of light production where he transformed it into an international enterprise.
