no 1195
Description
The “Skyscraper” table lamp is one of the most iconic and sought-after designs by Italian designer Romeo Rega, created in the mid-1970s. The design perfectly aligns with the Hollywood Regency and Art Deco aesthetics, combining the geometric austerity of modernism with luxurious finishes. The name and distinctive form of the lamp directly reference the American Art Deco skyscrapers that fascinated the designer.
The lamp’s base is crafted from thick, heavy brushed and polished brass. It consists of offset and stepped geometric blocks, giving it a sculptural, three-dimensional character. The lamp features a distinctive, wide, trapezoidal shade in dark bronze, finished with subtle brass profiles on the edges. These lamps originally left the factory with white or ivory shades.
