Three Italian classics we’re very pleased to welcome back: these designs from Cassina, FontanaArte and B&B Italia blur the boundaries between art and design
Re and Regina lamps, by Bobo Piccoli, for FontanaArte
Drawing inspiration from chess pieces, artist Bobo Piccoli created these lamps for FontanaArte in 1968, stacking spheres, cylinders and pastille forms to represent king (left) and queen. Crafted in milky white glass, the lamps emit a diffused glow that, in its new iteration, can be modulated via a dimmer. Whether displayed together or apart, on the table or across the floor, these strikingly regal pieces will add just the right touch of grandeur to a space. For FontanaArte, the reissue not only highlights their illustrious history of artistic collaboration, but also celebrates an artist who moved seamlessly between creative disciplines.
