LTE13 Porcino Floor Lamp, Luigi Caccia Dominioni for Azucena

LTE13 “Porcino” floor lamp, designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni for Azucena in 1968. The metal structure and the lampshade in transparent and acid-etched glass reflect the Milanese architect’s attention to functionality, formal simplicity and the craftsmanship quality of the materials. The compact and recognizable silhouette recalls the design language of the post-war period, in which irony and geometric rigor combine to create objects with a strong aesthetic and functional character. The “Porcino” lamp is an emblematic example of Italian design of the mid-twentieth century, where technical innovation and formal elegance are perfectly integrated.

Very good overall condition, with slight patina consistent with age. Provenance: private collection.
