Floor lamp "Coupe" Joe Colombo for Oluce Production 1967, Italy

Adjustable, arched "Coupe" floor lamp with semi-spherical stove lacquered aluminium reflector, chrome armature, and lacquered metal base. Designed by Joe Colombo and produced by Oluce, circa 1967, Italy. A sophisticated design that is complex to manufacture, the lamp features a grooved shaft with a plastic handle for adjusting the height and pivoting the armature. The reflector is fitted with a joint to adjust its inclination. The base is rounded but straight at the back, for flush fitting against the wall, where it can rotate through 180 degrees, changing how a floor lamp functions as an element of space design. High measurements can be rotated from 189cm to 235cm.
