Sculpture of Light: Rare extendable floor lamp – Designed by Pirro Cuniberti for Sirrah (70s)

We are offering at auction a true masterpiece of avant-garde design: the floor lamp designed by Pirro Cuniberti for Sirrah. This piece represents a masterful synthesis of rationalist rigor and spatial aesthetics, offering a stage presence that dominates the space with lightness and geometric precision.

Design and Dynamism: The Ingenuity of Telescopic Arms
The true strength of this project lies in its incredible versatility, making it one of the most intelligent lighting solutions of the 70s:
– Total Versatility: Thanks to a sophisticated telescopic arm system, the lamp is fully adjustable in height and depth. This flexibility allows for extremely precise light modulation, adapting it to a large dining area or a spacious living room. Similarly, the telescopic base allows the lamp to be positioned in rooms with a floor-to-ceiling height ranging from 272 cm to 314 cm.

Architecture in Motion: The slender, satin-finished steel structure culminates in a disc-shaped diffuser that appears to float in space. The long, curved, extendable arm projects light over a considerable distance from the vertical support, eliminating the need for a base in the work area.

Minimal Elegance: Despite its large dimensions, the lamp retains a slender and discreet profile, typical of Cuniberti's expert hand, capable of transforming a technical mechanism into a graphic sign of rare beauty.
