Black Fortuny Floor Lamp by Mariano Fortuny for Pallucco

Designed by Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo in 1907, the Fortuny floor lamp continues to be considered a contemporary and timeless icon to this day. The know-how and talent of the eclectic artist gave shape to the Fortuny lamp design with which he revolutionized stage lighting and experimented with a new indirect lighting system for the stage. The idea for the base came from the camera’s tripod, with its adjustable leg, while for the lampshade Mariano Fortuny reversed the typical lampshades of the time, making them tiltable and thus creating a light orientation instrument.
Since 1985 this lamp was manufactured by Pallucco in Italy. This black and white version is closest to the original design. It is in very good condition.
