Blown opaline glass table lamp by Paolo Tilche (1925-2002) for Barbini, Murano. The white electric cable, with its switch, is the original one. At the end of the 1960s Paolo Tilche, eclectic and multifaceted architect, urban planner and designer, as well as presenter for the Italian television of the first program dedicated to interior design and furniture in the late '50s, began a collaboration with Barbini in Murano, one of the most relevant and active glassworks in that period, designing a series of 'perforated' objects, which could be used either as vases, or containers, or as bodies for table lamps of different shapes and sizes. Our lamp is a cube, not perfectly regular, as it is hand-blown glass, with a hole on the upper part and a larger one in the lower part, which allows the lamp holder and light bulb to be housed, closed by a circular plate in chromed metal, which serves as a support and gives stability to the lamp. On the base there is the 'Barbini - Murano' adhesive label.
