Papillona Floor Lamp by Tobia Scarpa for Flos, 1975, Early Edition
€ 895
incl. BTW (indien van toepassing) volgens de margeregelingPapillona floor lamp Tobia Scarpa 1975 in lacquered aluminium and glass. An early minimalist Flos design casting soft light towards the ceiling.
This Flos floor lamp was designed in 1975 by Tobia Scarpa for Flos in Italy. It combines a slender stand in lacquered and cast aluminium with two prismatic glass diffusers shaped like butterfly wings. The name ‘Papillona’ refers to the French word for butterfly, aptly describing the curved shade that diffuses light both upward and through the glass. This early edition is fitted with a dimmer wheel integrated into the vertical stem rather than the power cord. The lamp uses a halogen bulb with a range of approximately 100 to 500 watts and comes in white, black with a transparent shade. Dimensions: 26 x 26 x 192 (H) cm; base: 25 x 25 cm. Marked Flos S.p.a. (see photo). Source: documented in the Flos catalogue (pages 92 and 252) and in Lights – Leuchten – Lampes by Taschen (page 88).
The lamp is in very good condition, with only light signs of wear on the base. All functions are intact; both the floor switch and the integrated dimmer operate properly. Ready for immediate use.
