A rare and playful design by Elvio Becheroni from the early 1970s, the table lamp reflects a moment when Italian lighting moved boldly into sculptural territory. Referenced in Luce Lampade 1968–1973: Il Nuovo Design Italiano by Fulvio and Napoleone Ferrari (Allemandi, 2002, Tav. 168), this lamp is part of a short-lived but inventive wave in Italian postmodern design.

Design

The lamp combines three key materials: chrome-plated steel, opaline glass, and curved opal methacrylate. A chrome cylindrical base anchors the composition, supporting a gently domed opaline glass diffuser. Surrounding the core, a white methacrylate shade curves outward in rhythmic waves, giving the lamp its nickname “Fru-Fru” – a nod to the soft, layered effect of a ruffled skirt. The light source remains subtly shielded, casting a warm, diffused glow that enhances the sculptural profile.

The design captures a spirit of experimentation typical of the period. Becheroni, known for his work across art and design, here finds a point of balance between form, function, and light. Materials are handled with precision but without rigidity.

Condition

Condition is very good. The lamp works with two seperate light options. Surfaces show light signs of age consistent with the material and period. The chrome has slight oxidation on the inner parts, and the methacrylate shade is free from deformation or yellowing. The lamp has been tested and functions properly.

This bar is amazing. Beautiful and exactly as described. A custom crate (which was a work of art itself) was built in order to ship the piece to the U.S. The bar arrived in perfect condition without a scratch. I will say that take the crate apart was not easy and was a two-person job. But worth it in the end
