Angelo Brotto, the Italian sculpted lamp of Esperia

Angelo Brotto (1914-2002) is an Italian sculptor and designer whose production of art lighting remains one of the most singular signatures of 20th-century Italian lighting design. Founder in 1956 of the Esperia publisher in Venice, he developed there for five decades a production of lamps and pendants where blown Murano glass, sculpted brass and precious materials composed luminous sculptures. His Nemea lamp and Sirio floor lamp remain the most iconic pieces of a signature where lighting becomes a work of art in its own right. The Nemea lamp and Sirio floor lamp from Esperia remain Angelo Brotto's most iconic pieces.
