FRANCO ALBINI (1905, Robbiate - 1977, Milan). Table lamp "Trumpet", 60s. Chromed metal. Measurements: 32 x 32 x 32 cm; 23 cm base. Table lamp designed by Italian designer Franco Albini in the 1960s, who developed his own style within the Space Age line. This can be seen in this attractive table lamp with its trumpet-shaped diffuser. Albini is one of the leading figures in the development of rationalist thinking in the fields of architectural production, furniture, industrial design and museum design. He graduated in Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic in 1929, later collaborating with the firm of Ponti and Lancia. His collaboration with the editorial staff of Casabella magazine was also fundamental to the development of his thinking, and marked his definitive conversion to rationalism, for which he became a spokesman in the Italian cultural scene. In 1931 he opened his first professional studio in Milan and began working on social housing; this research continued after the war in relation to the opportunities offered by reconstruction, in collaboration with Franca Helg from 1952. In the 1940s, Albini developed his collaboration with Cassina, for whom he designed a series of chairs containing the stylistic elements of his poetics, an activity he continued in the following years with other companies in the sector, including Poggi. Milan and Genoa represent the geographical axis on which Albini left his strongest mark.
