    “OSTRICA” TABLE LAMP, GAMMA3, 1970s

    510,00 €

    “Ostrica” table lamp, manufactured by the Italian company Gamma3 in the 1970s.

    This rare table lamp, named “Ostrica” (Italian for oyster), is a true design gem that perfectly captures the playful futurism and bold creativity characteristic of the Space Age design movement. Its name already reveals the designer’s inspiration: the sculptural form was created to resemble an oyster shell.

    The vibrant orange exterior, typical of the era, provides a striking contrast to the soft cream-colored interior with a subtle pearlescent sheen. The upper inner surface is lined with a mirror, which helps reflect and amplify the light. The lamp can also be fully closed, further emphasizing its resemblance to an oyster.

    Thanks to its ingenious design, this is not merely a functional lighting object but a genuine work of art. Even when switched off, it instantly adds character to a room and becomes a captivating conversation piece. It is also an appealing collector’s item, as examples in such well-preserved condition, complete with the original label, rarely appear on the market.

    This exceptional lamp is a timeless design icon of the 1970s—ideal for collectors of Italian design, lovers of eclectic interiors, or anyone wishing to add a distinctive futuristic touch to their home.

    CHANDELIER J. T. KALMAR “SONNE”

    950,00 €

    Chandelier flush mount, designed by the Austrian designer J.T. Kalmar.

    The "Sonne" chandelier, meaning "sun" in German, is an interesting modernist fixture whose design seamlessly integrates into any contemporary space. With its simple yet sophisticated lines, this light fixture is not just for illumination; it adds a touch of style to your space. The small glass flowers at the tips further emphasize the opulence of this chandelier, which can also be used as a wall light. Austrian designer and entrepreneur Julius Theodor Kalmar was born in 1884 in Vienna to Julius August Kalmar, the founder of the eponymous company specializing in chandeliers and other objects made of cast bronze. Growing up surrounded by design due to his father and their company, Julius Theodor gained rich design knowledge from an early age. His educational journey led him to the Birmingham School of Art and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he studied under the mentorship of the Secessionist architect Josef Hoffmann. After completing his studies, Julius Theodor joined his father's company in 1906 and took it over in 1913. Under his leadership, the company shifted away from the classical design of the time. Kalmar developed his distinctive design aesthetic, emphasizing the integration of form and function and combining classical traditions with innovative ideas. By the mid-1920s, his products were among the most sought after. In the 1930s, Kalmar began collaborating with the Austrian Werkbund, creating a series of glass lights with a purist aesthetic. Throughout his career, he collaborated with renowned architects such as Oskar Strnad, Josef Frank, and Oskar Wlach. In the last decade of his life, he designed numerous light collections, including the popular Atomic collection. Kalmar passed away in 1968, but the Kalmar company continues to create luxury lighting to this day. Kalmar lights can be found in prestigious locations like the Kremlin Presidential Palace and the Burj Tower in Dubai. Dimensions: 49 x 14 cm Weight: 1 kg The light fixture is in good condition, showing patina on the brass. Compatible with E14 bulbs.
