An exceptionally rare and highly sculptural “Sole” wall or ceiling light, designed by Gio Ponti for Arredoluce in 1957.
Conceived as an impressionistic representation of the sun, the lamp combines an architectural arrangement of radiating brass elements with a softly rounded central diffuser in white opaline acrylic. The result is wonderfully dramatic, yet unmistakably refined.
Preserved in its authentic, untouched condition, with a beautifully matured original patina and its original electrical system. Age-related marks, gentle oxidation and traces of use remain visible, contributing to the piece’s history, character and authenticity.
The original wiring should be inspected by a qualified electrician before installation.
Dimensions: approximately 73 cm diameter × 10.2 cm depth.
A rare and distinguished example of Gio Ponti’s post-war lighting design—witty, architectural and supremely elegant.
