Green Minibox Table lamp by Gae Aulenti & Piero Castiglioni for Stilnovo, 1980s

Green Minibox table lamp designed by Gae Aulenti & Piero Castiglioni and manufactured by Stilnovo in 1980.

This halogen table lamp can also be used as a ‘torch’ thanks to the handy handle. However, due to the power cord, it can only be used inside the house. The built-in magnet offers full flexibility of the reflector.

We found the following description of the green Minibox in Stilnovo catalogue No. 55: “Swiveling table lamp at low tension of lacquered metal. Reflector fastened by magnet. One built-in transformer. One halogenous bulb 20 W – 12 V.”

The built-in transformer in the base converts 220 volts to 12 volts. In countries with lower voltage such as the US, a converter is required.

This rare piece is in excellent condition as it has never been used.

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.
