About This Piece

Vintage Design

Designed by Stilnovo in the 1950s, this three-light pendant exemplifies the refined balance of geometry and materiality that defined the company’s post-war aesthetic. The interplay between its suspended opaline glass volumes, white-lacquered metal elements, and polished brass accents reflects the sculptural clarity characteristic of Italian mid-century lighting design.

Crafted in brass, white-lacquered metal, and opaline glass, the pendant features three organically shaped diffusers suspended from a black-lacquered ceiling mount connected by fixed brass arms. Each shade is composed of a white opaline glass body and a lacquered metal upper section with a brass collar. The height of each pendant can be individually adjusted through its cord, allowing subtle variations in composition while maintaining the lamp’s original structure.

Founded in Milan in 1946 by Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo quickly became one of the most influential lighting manufacturers of post-war Italy. The company embraced a modern, experimental approach, combining industrial techniques with innovative materials such as lacquered metal, brass, acrylic glass, and opaline glass.

About the Maker

Stilnovo

Italian lighting manufacturer Stilnovo was founded by designer Bruno Gatta in 1946 in Lainate, an industrial suburb of Milan. In response to the aftermath World War II—at a time when Italy was focused on rebuilding under conditions of scarcity—Gatta dedicated Stilnovo to the production of innovative lighting elements that embody rationalist, form-follows-function principles.

In the postwar era, designer Gaetano Sciolari took on the role of in-house designer. As economic recovery swept through Italy, Stilnovo became known as a prestigious and cutting-edge brand for both public and private spaces.

In the mid-1960s, Bruno’s son, Dino Gatta, had the idea to invite some of the best designers of the day to develop new products, and Stilnovo became a hotbed of progressive design ideas and a laboratory for material experimentation. Standouts from this futuristic era include the Periscopio Floor Lamp (1967) by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi, the Treiedo Spotlight (1970) and the Topo Adjustable Wall Lamp (1970) by Joe Colombo, the Lucetta Table Lamp (1970) by Cini Boeri, the Fante Desk Lamp (1978) by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, and the Valigia Desk Lamp (1977) by Ettore Sottsass. Many Stillnovo pieces were exhibited in MoMA’s landmark Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition in 1972.

Massimo Anselmi, an art director from the worlds of fashion design and contemporary art, acquired Stilnovo in 2012 and launched re-editions of iconic Stilnovo designs at Salone the following year.
