Giancarlo Mattioli, MT table lamp for Sirrah Italy

MT table lamp designed by Giancarlo Mattioli for Sirrah, Italy, 1969. Rather than exposing the bulb directly, Mattioli constructed the lamp as a layered volume in which light is filtered through a ring of vertical aluminium shutters. The result is a soft, indirect glow and a silhouette that changes completely between day and evening, giving the piece its architectural character.

Executed in white lacquered aluminium with a hemispherical upper shade, vertical aluminium shutters and chrome-plated fittings. The layered construction conceals the light source while producing a controlled, indirect diffusion. Presented in very good vintage condition with minor traces of age. A beautiful example of collectible Italian mid-century lighting.

About Giancarlo Mattioli

Giancarlo Mattioli (1933–2018) was an Italian architect and designer active within the experimental design culture that emerged in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. As a founding member of the Gruppo Architetti Urbanisti Città Nuova, he explored the relationship between architecture, industrial production and domestic space.

He is best known for the Nesso lamp, designed for Artemide in 1967, now considered one of the defining icons of Italian post-war lighting design. His work is characterised by sculptural geometries, diffused light and an architectural understanding of form.
