eBay watch: 1960s Angelo Mangiarotti Saffo space age table lamp
A design that doesn't come up very often, so there's sure to be some interest in this Angelo Mangiarotti Saffo table lamp.
A great example of space age design for Artemide, it was originally produced in 1966, with this example coming with the manufacturer's decal and signed with a moulded mark to underside of base. It even comes with the original box. Nice.
For your money, you get a lamp with a hand-blown, smoked Murano glass diffuser and a chrome-plated base, not to mention plenty of style. It's sold out of France, so if you're not there, you'll need to sort out the electrics. Easy enough though. Current bidding price is £68.44.
