Ignazio Gardella “Arenzano Bassa” Table Lamp for Azucena, Italy, 1960s

Arenzano Bassa table lamp in nickel-plated brass and lattimo glass, designed by Ignazio Gardella for Azucena in the 1960s. A refined and highly architectural model, characterized by its compact proportions, the softly flared opaline shade, and the distinctive loop finial — a signature gesture in Gardella’s vocabulary that balances elegance and structural clarity.

This example is completely original in all its components, including cable, plug and switch — an increasingly rare condition for this model. The nickel-plated brass shows a beautiful and authentic patina developed over time, enhancing the material depth and historical presence of the piece. The lattimo glass shade is pristine, offering a warm, atmospheric glow that highlights Gardella’s mastery in shaping and diffusing light.

A true collector’s object: untouched, sophisticated, and emblematic of Azucena’s cultured, understated luxury. Ideal for refined interiors and for connoisseurs of Italian mid-century design.
