Valenti: Medusa Table / Floor Lamp

Made by assembling around a steel circle a number of bent and painted steel foils to form a particularly soft light diffuser. Sinuous and appealing, it combines the principles of a clear and minimal design with the timeless force of dreams and poetry.

In the seventies, about 40,000 Medusa lamps were sold. The light designed by Austrian designer, Olaf Von Bohr quickly became a commercial success, but above all it became an object that managed to interpret and direct the taste of a world that was discovering design in that very period. Sensual and allusive, during the course of the years Medusa has passed through fashions, habits and events. Huge changes that did not however mar the appeal of a clear and minimalist design, that managed to retain its content of dreams and joy. Medusa is being released again by Valenti in a limited and numbered edition of 200 numbered pieces and guaranteed by a certificate of authenticity.
