A lamp that recreates a light bulb

The name Lampadina means "bulb", and the lamp is Castiglioni's recreation of one. It was designed in 1972 and gives direct and diffused light through a partly sandblasted clear globe.

Anodized base and switch

With Lampadina, Achille Castiglioni plays with the concept of light through the recreation of a light bulb. The base is anodized aluminium and holds the excess power cord, and the switch is on the lamp holder.
