Petite Italian Mid-Century Task Lights in Walnut, Glass, & Brass, Pair

Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Functional design with bold personality—this has long defined Italian design, especially in the late 20th century. A signature blend of mood, attitude, and aesthetic flair sets Italian creations apart, making them timelessly desirable and still influential today. These Petite Task Lights embody that spirit—evoking not only a warm, ambient glow but also a sculptural, almost human-like presence.

Each lamp is a refined expression of Italian design at its finest. A well-proportioned walnut base anchors an oversized, fluted frosted glass shade, held elegantly by a polished brass neck. The shade can be tilted up or down and secured in place with a simple turn of the brass key, allowing for a personalized lighting experience. A push-button switch adds a tactile, satisfying element to turning the lamp on and off—both intuitive and charmingly mechanical.

Rewired for the USA, each lamp is fitted with a standard bulb adapter for ease of use. Whether placed on a bedside table or used as task lighting on a desk, these lights offer gentle illumination paired with standout style. Their petite form and unmistakable Italian personality make them a delight to use—day after day.
