Pair of floor lamps, model P428
Pia Guidetti Crippa · Signed
Italy, Circa 1970
A pair of vintage floor lamps, model P428, designed by Pia Guidetti Crippa and produced by the Milanese firm Lumi in Italy circa 1970, in brass-plated metal and white opaline glass. Trained at the Brera Academy, designer Pia Guidetti Crippa created a series of luminaires for Lumi characterized by their remarkable purity of line, which are highly sought after today. Of differing heights, each floor lamp rests on a wide circular base extending into a slender cylindrical stem. This is surmounted by a hemispherical brass-plated cup supporting a white opaline glass globe. The design unites three fundamental forms—the disc, the cylinder, and the sphere—in a perfect balance of lines and volumes. The golden sheen of the metal contrasts with the milky appearance of the glass, whose soft, diffused light enhances the sculptural presence of the ensemble. Their complementary proportions allow them to be styled together, flanking a sofa or set in a corner, or positioned separately to create rhythm within an interior. An elegant pair, emblematic of Italian geometric design of the 1970s.
