Pair of Atomic Tripod Table Lamps 1950's Italy

About the Item

Charming pair of Atomic tripod table lamps, Italy, 1950s. These sculptural miniatures of mid-century futurism embody the spirit of the Atomic Age with their playful, space-age silhouettes. The compact proportions are a delight—small in scale but rich in presence, they exude a unique character that commands attention without overpowering a space. The bases feature glossy black lacquered spheres, elevated on brass rocket-style tripod feet that anchor the lamps with a confident stance. The woven rattan shades clip directly onto the bulbs, diffusing a warm, atmospheric light and further enhancing their tactile appeal. The juxtaposition of materials—brass, lacquer, and natural fiber—adds to their layered aesthetic. Original Bakelite switches and plugs remain intact, a rare and desirable detail that reinforces the authenticity of these untouched gems. Their condition is very good, with honest patina and wear consistent with age. These lamps are more than just decorative—they’re expressive objects, perfect for adding a touch of mid-century Italian flair to a shelf, side table, or nightstand. Seldom found as a matching pair and rarely with this level of preservation, they are a joyful find for any collector or design-savvy interior.

Longobarda Ceramic Table Lamp by Marcello Cuneo for Gabbianelli 1966 Italy
By Marcello Cuneo, Gabbianelli
Located in Lisboa, PT
A bold and playful expression of Italian radical design, the Longobarda Table Lamp was created by Marcello Cuneo for Gabbianelli in 1966. Sculptural and instantly iconic, this ceramic lamp captures the spirit of the 1960s with its futuristic form, saturated color, and pop sensibility. Crafted in glazed ceramic and finished in a vivid high-gloss orange, the lamp’s fluid, monolithic silhouette is as much a light source as it is a piece of art. Its arched top curves into a flowing base, concealing the bulb and directing a warm, glowing light downward and outward — creating a dramatic effect whether lit or not. The lamp’s pure form is uninterrupted by visible seams or switches, with a hidden on/off mechanism and internal bulb placement that enhance its sculptural integrity. This particular example is in very good vintage condition, and was professionally rewired some years ago to ensure safe and functional use. Marcello Cuneo, a former collaborator of Gio Ponti, designed the Longobarda as a radical departure from traditional lighting — its silhouette evoking both ancient helmets...
