Gianfranco Frattini, a prominent Italian designer and architect, is praised for his innovative approach to interior design. One of his most iconic creations is the Table Lamp 597, a masterpiece of lighting that combines both functionality and aesthetics.
The Table Lamp 597, designed in the 1960s, is a perfect example of Frattini's philosophy of simplicity and elegance.
The playful and distinctive shape of the lamp embodies Frattini's unique approach to lighting and aesthetics.
The characteristic nylon fringes of Model 597 are inspired by both the fashion world and the fringe-decorated entrance curtains that were common in Italian bars and supermarkets in the late 1950s. Thanks to the side lamps, the table lamp emits a 360-degree play of indirect light, where the fringes soften the light and create a rich, ambient glow.
The reflective aluminum hood adds warmth to the uplight effect.
A beautiful authentic first generation!
