{"product_id":"cubosfera-glass-table-lamp-a-mendini-for-fidenza-vetraria-1960s","title":"1960s Cubosfera table lamp by Alessandro Mendini for Fidenza Vetraria","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrue design distinction doesn’t come from following temporary decor fads; it comes from introducing objects of exceptional geometric purity and rare historical value. The legendary \"Cubosfera\" table lamp allows you to distinguish your living space with a sophisticated element of mid-century lighting design that tells a story of curated taste and avant-garde appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned in the late 1960s by the maestro Alessandro Mendini and manufactured by the historic Italian glassworks Fidenza Vetraria, this luminary object is a phenomenal study in contrasting volumes. The structural brilliance lies in its optical illusion: the lamp is composed of two massive, heavy molded-glass halves that perfectly interlock. Together, they form a rigid, substantial cube on the exterior, while the negative space carved into the center reveals a flawless, hollow sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific piece is an incredibly rare First Series edition, distinguished by its internal satin\/frosted glass finish on the inner sphere. While later iterations opted for fully clear compartments, this first series is widely celebrated by collectors as the most elegant and visually striking version. When illuminated, the frosted core beautifully diffuses the light, removing all glare and transforming a heavy glass block into a weightless, ethereal orb of ambient warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these heavy glass halves sit directly on top of one another, very few examples have survived the last six decades without significant chipping, scratching, or structural bruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis specimen is in absolute perfect vintage condition.
