Alessi- AR04 table lamp black

Aldo Rossi revealed an extraordinary and entirely personal ability to translate the language of architecture into the design of objects: a lamp as a domestic micro-architecture for building one's personal daily landscape. The table lamp designed by Rossi in 1991 returns to the Alessi catalogue in an updated version: the post-modernist design that echoes classical references joins the contemporaneity of a new technological sector

Aldo Rossi

Milanese (1931-1997), is considered by many the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the twentieth century. He began his career as an architect working with Gardella and Zanuso. Playwright of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, with his rigorous language of primary forms, geometries and evocations in absence, he was able to create some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design of his time.

Alessi
