Mid-Century Space Age Mushroom Pendant Lamp attributed to Guzzini and Meblo, Italy, 1970s

Space Age to the extreme!
Amazingly beautiful and rare vintage ceiling lamp from the 1970s, attributed to the iconic collaboration between Italian iGuzzini and Yugoslavian Meblo.

This lamp has a semi-translucent acrylic shade in beige/brown with a metal rim and pull handle at the bottom, attached to a height-adjustable ceiling metal rod.
Due to the reflection of the light on the chrome and the light transmission of the sphere, the lamp creates beautiful light and is a true spectacle to behold.

Meblo (Yugoslavia), a furniture and lighting manufacturer, collaborated with the Italian design house iGuzzini in the 1970s. Some notable examples of this partnership include the "Bud" pendant lamp and the "Libellula" desk lamp.
The lamps were often designed by prominent designers such as Harvey Guzzini, Emilio Fabio Simion and Luigi Massoni, featuring a distinctive Space Age style popular during that period.
This collaboration showcases the creative synergy between Meblo and iGuzzini and their significant contribution to 20th-century lighting design
Today, these vintage lamps are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts for their unique design and historical significance.

This type of mushroom lamps were made in the 60s/70s by several well-known lighting manufacturers like Dijkstra, Meblo, Raak, Gepo and Herda. These iconic lamps, in a typical Mid Century Atomic / Space Age design, are characterized by plexi acrylic globes, usually in a brown / beige color, which light up very nicely and create a special atmosphere.

Both the size and design of this lamp will ensure that this will be a real eye-catcher in your interior.
The design and combination of silver and brown/beige is a hallmark of the Mid-Century Modern / Space Age style and is a great addition to your dining room, living room, kitchen or entrance.
And it not only illuminates your interior, but is also a perfect item that highlights your refined taste!
