Fortuny Floor Lamp by Pallucco

Description

The Fortuny floor lamp is considered a contemporary yet timeless icon; a camera tripod inspired the base with an adjustable central leg, and Fortuny designed an ‘upside down’ tilting shade — unheard of in 1907. The modern Fortuny light maintains its iconic design, and features framework in profiled steel channel section, drawn flat bar and tubular steel, featuring a lacquered epoxy powder finish. The lamp height can be adjusted between 75 and 94 inches, and features a dimmer switch on the cord for easy access.

The modernity of the Fortuny floor lamp is fresh a century later, with exceptional design reflecting its conceptual core: an efficiently redefined task show light for the stage. Celebrated by his contemporaries as the last Renaissance man, Mariano Fortuny said “It is not the quantity, but the quality of light, that makes things visible”. The Fortuny lamp is a fine example.
