Floor lamp Oracolo Gae Aulenti, 1970's

The Mezzo Oracolo , designed by Gae Aulenti for Artemide in the late 1960s, is one of the most charismatic and coveted lighting objects of Italian Modernism.
Aulenti was one of the most influential designers of her generation and was known for her exceptional ability to merge architecture, poetry, and object design. This lamp is a prime example of that vision.

At the center stands the imposing opaline glass sphere , which emits a soft, luxurious glow and transforms the room with a warm, almost magical atmosphere. The perfect round shape contrasts beautifully with the refined metal base , which is subtly proportioned and makes the sphere appear to float.
The whole is sculptural, sensual, and at the same time austere in its minimalism – exactly as Aulenti intended.

The Mezzo Oracolo is not just a lamp, but a statement piece : an object that brings tranquility and sophistication, while simultaneously adding character and personality to the space.
Due to its rarity, this model is sought after worldwide by top interior designers, curators, and enthusiasts of pure Italian high-end design.

This piece is in excellent, beautiful original condition , with the warm light diffusion that only authentic old opaline glass can provide.
An absolute opportunity for the collector or interior architect who desires a unique and iconic object that has gloriously stood the test of time.
