Valenti Luce Olaf Von Bohr Medusa table lamp. This stunning modernist table/floor lamp was designed in 1968 by Austrian born Olaf von Bohr for Valenti in Italy. The Medusa Lamp is probably the most beautiful lamp that was ever designed. This attractive modern lamp is made by assembling around a steel circle a number of bent and painted steel foils to form a particularly soft light diffuser. The Medusa lamp easily transforms any interior into a work of art, especially at night. Sinuous and appealing, the Medusa Lamp combines the principles of a clear and minimal design with the timeless force of dreams and poetry. This modern light can be seen in the Permanent Exhibition of Italian Design at the Milan Triennial. This incredible Italian modern lamp will be a real center piece in any room. A true icon of Italian modern design of the 1960s.
