Mercurio Table lamp by Peppe di Giuli for Sirrah, 1970s

Mercurio table lamp designed by Peppe di Giuli in 1971 and produced by Sirrah.

As described in an original catalogue by Sirrah: “It’s not a lamp, it’s not a sculpture, but you can think of it as a lamp and you can think of it as a sculpture.”

The base of the lamp is made of white lacquered aluminium casting. The arch is made of red painted steel. The lamp contains two halogen light bulbs that shine light in the direction of the chrome-plated aluminum sphere and are reflected there. Equipped with an electronic transformer.

Mercurio is in excellent vintage condition with very minimal signs of usage.

Rare piece.
