Oscar Torlasco desk lamp in burgundy metal and brass for Lumi, Italy, 1950s.

Oscar Torlasco desk lamp in burgundy metal and brass for Lumi, Italy, 1950s Table lamp by Oscar Torlasco, made in Italy in the late 1950s or early 1960s for Lumi in Milan. It features that typical Italian style: clean lines, beautiful colors, and clever construction without overdoing it. The brass arm has a gentle curve that gives it a bit of movement, and the lampshade is fully adjustable. Still in its original lacquer—a mix of burgundy and deep red—with just the right amount of patina. The switch is carefully integrated into the base, and the entire lamp has a good weight. It feels solid, well-made—the kind of object you want on a desk or side table, even if you don’t really need to turn on the light. Oscar Torlasco was one of those post-war Italian designers who managed to create objects that were both technical and elegant without complicating them. He often worked with lens systems and optics, but here we see a more streamlined version of his style. Smart, practical, and subtly beautiful. Dimensions Width: 40 cm Height: 41 cm
