This rare floor lamp, designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1942, exemplifies the refined elegance and material sensitivity that define his work. Combining coloured glass, lattimo (opaque white glass), and brass, the piece rises in a slender, tapering silhouette that subtly evokes Venetian architectural proportions. Scarpa, a master of both detail and atmosphere, imbues this lamp with a quiet monumentality—where function meets poetic restraint.
