The spectacular Saffo Lamp was designed in 1966 by Italian architect, sculptor, and designer Angelo Mangiarotti and has since been a coveted vintage object. The remarkable design bares testament to his background as a sculptor and shows his unique approach to combining shapes and materials. Saffo is made of mouth-blown glass and spreads a soft light that enhances the many material characteristics of the glass.
The white glass in the bottom elegantly hides the light source and as the shape of the mushroom starts to form, the white glass blends into transparent and makes way for the light. The sculptural qualities of the Saffo lamp make it a spectacular design object whether turned on or off.
