Dafne floor lamp by Olaf von Bohr for Valenti, 1970s

Astonishing floor lamp Dafne designed by Olaf von Bohr for Italian manufacturer Valenti.

The shade from the lamp is made of fiberglass; it consists of two parts which together form the shape of a flower. The on/off switch has two positions, which allow independent use of the lights that shine upwards from the lights that shine downwards.

A pendant from the same series is described in the ‘Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000’ by Giuliana Gramigna on Page 209 (1972).

Rare piece.
