Wall lamp Stilnovo 232 by Bruno Gatta, Italy, 1962. Wall lamp designed by Bruno Gatta for Stilnovo, Italy, in the 1960s. The fixture features a red metal shade with a brass arm and an off-white wall mount. The large circular diffuser softly reflects light against the wall, creating an atmospheric glow. The design is both sculptural and functional, typical of Stilnovo's approach to modern lighting. Bruno Gatta co-founded Stilnovo in 1946, a company that became one of Italy's leading manufacturers of lighting. Unlike some of its competitors, Stilnovo focused on balancing industrial production with refined design. Gatta's work often played with geometric shapes and indirect lighting, as seen in this piece. With its minimalist construction and strong visual presence, this lamp reflects the mid-century Italian movement where form followed function without excessive ornamentation. An excellent example of Stilnovo's timeless aesthetic. Dimensions. Width: 42 cm. Height: 45 cm.
