Vintage wall/ceiling light Pistillino by Studio Tetrarch for Valenti & C. Milano, Italy, 1970s.

Vintage Pistillino wall or ceiling light in chrome. The Pistillino was designed by Studio Tetrarch in 1969 for Valenti of Milan and is one of the iconic lamps of Italian Space Age design. Chrome rods radiate from a central bulb with a silver crown, each ending in a mirrored sphere. When lit, the entire piece fills with reflections and casts a soft starry glow on the wall or ceiling. Versatile, it can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, or simply placed on a sideboard or shelf as a table lamp. Sculptural even when off. This is an original vintage piece. The manufacturer's mark is molded on the back: "Valenti & C. Milano – Mod. Pistillino – Dep. Design Studio Tetrarch – Made in Italy." Dimensions: diameter 30 cm - height 15 cm - E14 socket (mirror bulb included). Very good vintage condition. The chrome is shiny and the structure is complete and straight. Some spheres show slight pitting and a patina consistent with age, visible in the photos. The original mark is clearly legible on the back. Works perfectly.
