Iconic “Calla” floor lamp designed by Angelo Lelli for Arredoluce, Monza, Italy, circa 1950. This sculptural lamp features a solid copper conical base with elegant brass stems rising to support seven hand-blown glass shades, each shaped like a stylised calla lily.

The organic, floral form is a hallmark of Lelli’s work and reflects the refined Italian modernism of the post-war period, where artisanal craftsmanship met innovative lighting design. The softly flared glass diffuses light beautifully, creating a warm and atmospheric glow while functioning as a strong decorative statement.

Angelo Lelli was one of the most influential Italian lighting designers of the mid-20th century. A pioneer in combining sculptural form with technical innovation, Lelli played a central role in defining the aesthetic of post-war Italian lighting. His designs often drew inspiration from natural forms while embracing modern materials such as brass, copper, and hand-blown glass. Lelli’s work is now highly sought after and represented in major design collections, celebrated for its balance of elegance, functionality, and expressive form. Founded in 1943 in Monza, Arredoluce became one of Italy’s most important lighting manufacturers during the post-war design boom. Under Lelli’s artistic direction, the company collaborated with leading designers and architects, producing lighting that pushed technical boundaries while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship. Arredoluce pieces are recognised for their refined materials, innovative construction, and timeless modernist appeal, making them enduring icons of Italian design history.
