Angelo Lelii ceiling lamp mod. 12599 “Reticella” for Arredoluce, Italy 1957

Rare ceiling lamp, model 12599 “Reticella”, designed by Angelo Lelii for Arredoluce, Italy, 1957. An intriguing composition formed by a black-painted geometric lace structure supporting a sculptural, cone-shaped, shell-like light element. The model is named after the traditional Italian lace technique Reticella, characterized by its open, geometric grid. It is precisely this refined lattice that creates a compelling dialogue between open space and volume. The overall composition is exceptionally well balanced, while the outstanding craftsmanship and use of high-quality materials result in a truly magnificent, floating light sculpture. The lamp is suspended by four nylon fish cords with black-painted brass hooks, perfectly in harmony with the light and open character of the design. The suspension height can be adjusted to suit the desired ceiling height. The ceiling canopy is executed in thick, solid brass and displays a subtle and attractive natural patina. This lamp fully embodies the spirit of Lelii and Arredoluce: sculptural, innovative, and forward-thinking lighting design. Angelo Lelii was a true visionary and the founder of Arredoluce in 1947, which grew into one of the most influential Italian post-war lighting manufacturers, renowned for its uncompromising quality and design excellence.
