A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF ITALIAN RADICAL DESIGN, THE KD29 TABLE LAMP WAS DESIGNED BY JOE COLOMBO FOR KARTELL IN THE EARLY 1970s. KNOWN FOR HIS FUTURISTIC AND VISIONARY APPROACH, COLOMBO CREATED OBJECTS THAT WERE AS FUNCTIONAL AS THEY WERE SCULPTURAL. MADE ENTIRELY OF ABS PLASTIC, THE KD29 EMBODIES THE PLAYFUL, SPACE-AGE SPIRIT OF THE ERA WHILE SHOWCASING COLOMBO’S TALENT FOR INNOVATIVE FORMS.

THE LAMP FEATURES A DISTINCTIVE SILHOUETTE. ITS GLOSSY SURFACE, BOLD LINES, AND COMPACT FOOTPRINT MAKE IT A PRACTICAL YET HIGHLY STYLIZED PIECE. PRODUCED BY KARTELL — THE ICONIC ITALIAN MANUFACTURER THAT PIONEERED PLASTIC IN DESIGN — THIS MODEL REFLECTS THE ERA’S OPTIMISM AND THE PUSH TOWARD MODERN LIVING.

THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE SHOWS SIGNS OF USE, INCLUDING LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES, MINOR HEAT DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC, AND A REFITTED BULB FITTING. THESE ARE TYPICAL FOR LAMPS OF THIS MATERIAL AND PERIOD AND DO NOT AFFECT FUNCTION. STILL FULLY OPERATIONAL, THE PIECE RETAINS ITS DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER AND STANDS AS A COLLECTIBLE EXAMPLE OF JOE COLOMBO’S ENDURING LEGACY.
