Afra & Tobia Scarpa Katia floor lamp

Formidable husband and wife team Tobia and Afra Scarpa met while studying architecture at the Univer­sity luav di Venezia in the 1950s. Their distinctive oeuvre, produced over half a century, imbues generous forms with a fine Italian sensibility. Their work is displayed in the Louvre and New York’s MoMA.

The painted metal frame of this sought-after floor lamp is sheathed in cloth for ultimate diffusion. The fabric is gathered at the top and cascades down to a wider base, producing a pleasing sense of movement. Illumination is provided by three bulbs.

The lamp is operated by a foot switch and was recently rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.
