Description

Sanremo floor lamp is designed in 1968 by Archizoom Associati for Poltronova with base in black sheet and trunk in pearlescent lacquered steel, leaves in lasercut Perspex® transparent or fluorescent green. LED GU10 8W [max] 6400K.

 

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. Floor lamp with indirect light Sanremo is a floor lamp more than two meters high with a phytomorphic shape. A square base supports a long stem made with a lacquered steel tube onto which a luminous crown composed of 12 perspex leaves is grafted in the green or transparent versions. Well framed by Ettore Sottsass as an object useful to sow panic in users, not connotable as a lamp, Sanremo is in all respects an artificial palm, whose semantic value is intrinsic to the object itself. Installed for the first time in ’66 in the patio of the house designed by Ernesto N. Rogers for the Bartolinis in Roccamare, this is remembered by Archizoom Dario Bartolini: Night installation, in the dark with the light of the palm tree leaves only, then Sanremo.

«Since we were supposed to be practising 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 materialise our vision of the world». [Lucia Bartolini, 2007]. On display in many temporary exhibition all over the world.
