Fortuny Lamp
“It is not the quantity, but the quality of light, that makes things visible,” said Spanish designer Mariano Fortuny of his approach to lighting design. His Fortuny Lamp (1907), which expresses the early modernist emphasis on industrial materials, functional style and the spatial role of objects, aligns with this philosophy. As compelling as modern sculpture, the lamp dominates space, evoking Fortuny’s work as a stage set designer.
Height-adjustable, the interior reflector rotates to direct light as desired.
Adds drama to larger spaces like reception areas, restaurants or an open-plan living space.
Bulb (included): incandescent 500W, E40.

Fortuny is now most remembered for his dress designs, which were fabricated from an innovative pleated silk, produced by machines designed and patented by Fortuny, and is the forerunner to Issey Miyake's efforts. Fortuny also patented numerous stage and lighting innovations, culminating with the Fortuny cyclorama dome, which could easily change stage lighting from a bright sky to a faint dusk...
