Sanremo Floor Light

The prototype of the Sanremo floor lamp was an engagement present from Dario Bartolini to Lucia Morozzi, given to her in the villa in Roccamare designed by Ernesto Nathan Rogers. Sanremo is composed of a slender metal trunk topped by “foliage” like that of a stylized palm tree, formed by lanceolate transparent or fluorescent green methacrylate leaves that radiate light. The prototype also called for a sound similar to the song of a cricket, eliminated in the production version. «Since we were supposed to be practicing architects, many people couldn’t grasp what we were up to. In reality, many of our objects were created for reasons other than that of architecture: an engagement party, a wedding. Any opportunity was good enough to materialize our vision of the world». [Lucia Bartolini, 2007]. Light Bulb: 1 x LED GU10 8W [max] 6400K. Designed in 1968. Handmade in Italy.
