Giuseppe Ostuni

Pair of 1950s Giuseppe Ostuni 'Ochetta' wall or table lamps for O-Luce. An extremely rare and surprisingly utilitarian pair of lamps executed in white painted metal and brass by one of the most refined Italian designers of the midcentury. A highly adaptable light, the legs of the lamp can be slid up or down for easy adjustability, while the shade rotates freely on Ostuni's patented ball joint system.

 

Price is for the pair.
