Mid-Century Grazia Ceiling Lamp from Stilnovo, Italy, 1950s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Grazia is a sophisticated ceiling lamp realised in Italy in the early 50s.
This is an elegant example of Italian mid-century craftsmanship which arrived in perfect shape to our days.
The lamp is strongly reminiscent of the iconic Stilnovo design but the structure doesn't show any label of that.
The delicate glass feature a frosted hand-blown glass which comes in perfect conditions (no chips or cracks at all).
The Murano technique used is called "Incamiciato" where two different layers ( one clear and one white) are gently fused together and diffuse a warm gentle light.
Some of the electric parts are still made of white ceramic (parts that are now substituted with plastics) which gives an extra value to this beautiful lamp.
The structure is made of precious brass and bordeaux (burgundy) lacquered parts.
An exquisite and timeless example of Italian Design for your special environment!

About the Maker

Stilnovo

Italian lighting manufacturer Stilnovo was founded by designer Bruno Gatta in 1946 in Lainate, an industrial suburb of Milan. In response to the aftermath World War II—at a time when Italy was focused on rebuilding under conditions of scarcity—Gatta dedicated Stilnovo to the production of innovative lighting elements that embody rationalist, form-follows-function principles.

In the postwar era, designer Gaetano Sciolari took on the role of in-house designer. As economic recovery swept through Italy, Stilnovo became known as a prestigious and cutting-edge brand for both public and private spaces.

In the mid-1960s, Bruno’s son, Dino Gatta, had the idea to invite some of the best designers of the day to develop new products, and Stilnovo became a hotbed of progressive design ideas and a laboratory for material experimentation. Standouts from this futuristic era include the Periscopio Floor Lamp (1967) by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi, the Treiedo Spotlight (1970) and the Topo Adjustable Wall Lamp (1970) by Joe Colombo, the Lucetta Table Lamp (1970) by Cini Boeri, the Fante Desk Lamp (1978) by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, and the Valigia Desk Lamp (1977) by Ettore Sottsass. Many Stillnovo pieces were exhibited in MoMA’s landmark Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition in 1972.

Massimo Anselmi, an art director from the worlds of fashion design and contemporary art, acquired Stilnovo in 2012 and launched re-editions of iconic Stilnovo designs at Salone the following year.
