Tubino Table Lamp by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Arteluce, later produced by Flos
Originally designed in 1948 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Arteluce, the ‘Tubino’ table lamp is a masterstroke of modernist ingenuity. This later example, produced by Flos, retains all the poise and precision of the original—its bent tubular steel frame forming a continuous line that seems to sketch light into space. The minimalist aluminum shade hovers with quiet intent, casting a focused wash of light ideal for reading or desk work.
A seminal work from two of Italy’s most revered designers, the Tubino remains a testament to postwar innovation and architectural sensitivity in lighting.
