Schiacciasassi Table lamp by Gian Paolo Benedini for Tecnosalotto, 1970s

Striking off-white enameled metal Schiacciasassi table lamp designed by Gian Paolo Benedini and manufactured by Tecnosalotto.

The lamp can be opened in any desired position. The round rotatable on/off switch on one side also functions as a dimmer (see last picture). There are three fittings (E14) in the top half of this special object. This lamp was originally provided by Gian Paolo Benedini with two colored bulbs on both sides and a white one in the middle, these three light bulbs are included.

The condition of the lamp is very good, although there is some minor loss of paint on the side (see pictures).

Rare piece.
