Edy floor lamp by Piero Castiglioni for Fontana Arte, 1980s

Edy floor lamp designed by Piero Castiglioni for Fontana Arte in 1982.

Besides a floor lamp, the Edy series of low-voltage lamps consisted of a hanging lamp, a wall lamp and a table lamp, each with a different metal frame.

The main part of the lamp is tube-shaped, it contains a halogen light bulb, and it is made of lacquered metal and a mat glass diffuser.

The construction with the extra long electrical wire (10 meters/ 393 inch long), allows the lamp to be used as a portable lamp. Another feature of the Edy lamp is the suspension ring at the end of the main tube-shaped body. The frame is made of varnished metal.

Very rare model.

As can be seen in the last picture, this lamp forms a spectacular combination with the table lamp that we currently also have in our collection.

In the Discover section of our website you can find an exclusive interview with “the architect of light” Piero Castiglioni where he talks about the great importance of intuition.
