Aluminium Colomba Design Desk Lamp by Walter & Moretti, France, 1972

Vintage Postmodern Design Aluminium 'COLOMBA' table or desk lamp with wireless switch by Walter and Moretti, made in France in the early 1970s. Marked with a maker's stamp, this all-aluminium constructed desk lamp features a unique wireless switch system. The lamp is in very good condition, fully functional, and retains its original wiring and ovoid pebble, which enables the user to switch the light on and off wirelessly—an innovative feature reminiscent of a modern wireless mouse. The lamp measures 46.5 cm X 26 cm X 50 cm. Designed by Isaac Walter and Giancarlo Moretti, who established their Paris-based design studio in the 1960s, the lamp showcases the pair’s preference for brushed aluminium, a material also favoured by other notable designers of that era such as Maria Pergay. Please note: The cable is original and may require replacement. Made of aluminium, with European Plug (up to 250V).
