Catalogue Essay
The present ceiling light comes from a villa in Pino Torinese furnished by the Italian architect and designer Franco Campo. The sprawling arrangement comprises various component parts and was available to order in various configurations. A lighting review in Domus no. 403 from June 1963 explains: 'a special joint system allows to combine these elements in all sorts of ways, in symmetrical or asymmetrical aggregations. This can lead to the creation of enormous ceiling lights'. Custom configurations were also found in Milan's Castello Sforzesco, a city landmark which was restored by Studio B.B.P.R between 1954 and 1963 and in the Hispano-Olivetti showroom in Barcelona.
