Pair of Sirio lamps; HARVEY GUZZINI, Italy, 1960s. Lacquered metal and polycarbonate. Electrified. In working order. In good state of preservation. Measurements: 40 x 24,50 x 27 cm (x2). It is often mistakenly thought that Harvey Guzzini is the name of a lighting designer of the sixties and seventies. In reality, the brand actually belongs to a lighting company founded by the six Guzzini brothers - Raimondo, Giovanni, Virgilio, Giuseppe, Adolfo and Giannunzio - inspired by the movie Harvey, starring James Stewart in 1950. To further complicate the story, it appears that the Guzzini company changed brands several times in the 20th century, going through Harvey Creazioni, Harvey Guzzini, Guzzini, iGuzzini and Illuminazione Guzzini. Harvey Creazioni was originally founded in 1959 in Recanti (on the central-eastern coast of Italy) by Raimondo, focusing on the production of copper-plated decorative objects. Four years later, in June 1963, the six brothers joined forces and founded Harvey Creazioni di Guzzini, expanding production to include pendant lighting, sconces and lamps, floor lamps. The brothers hired architect-designer Luigi Massoni-who was introduced to the Guzzini brothers by major plastics importer Maurizio Adreani-as head of design, branding, public relations and advertising. Harvey Guzzini's famous designs include Massoni and Luciano Buttura's Mushroom table lamp (1965), as well as the Arc floor lamp (1968), Faro table lamp (1970) and Toledo table lamp (1973). Studio 6G, a trainee design team, developed the collectible Clan table lamp (1968); and designers Ermanno Lampa and Sergio Brazzoli were responsible for the Nastro series (1970), the Orione pendant (1970), the Sirio table lamp (1970), the Alba floor lamp (1973), the Albanella table lamp (1973) and the Alf series (1976).Around 1976, Harvey Guzzini abandoned the production of copper-plated items to concentrate on lighting made almost exclusively from methacrylate plastic (acrylic). The company also ventured into furniture production, collaborating with the Yugoslavian furniture manufacturer Meblo, located in Nova Gorica, in present-day Slovenia.In 1967-68, the company exhibited at Domus: Formes Italiennes, at the Galeries Lafayette in Paris, under the name Design House (DH), where it presented Gio Ponti's Media Lamp. In 1969, a sales outlet was opened in downtown Milan under the name Harvey Guzzini-DH, placing the brand, literally and figuratively, among the best-known Italian design houses. In 1974, the company was once again renamed iGuzzini - adding "Illuminazione" in 1981 - and is still in existence today, based in Recanati (Italy).
