Artemide Onfale table lamp made of glass

Translucent glass table lamp Onfale The Onfale table lamp is something very special. Not only does it provide additional lighting in any living room and match many modern furnishing styles, it also serves as an incomparable decorative accessory. The base and lampshade have the same look: both are made of mouth-blown opal glass, while the edge of the lampshade is made of transparent crystal glass. Onfale is the work of Italian designer Luciano Vistosi, who lives in Venice and works on the island of Murano. Vistosi came from a Venetian family that owned glass factories and manufactured industrial products. After the death of his father in 1952, he founded Vetreria Vistosi together with his uncle and brother. They wanted to produce lights with a more modern design. From the late 1960s, Vistosi focussed on glassblowing and became an important figure in the Italian art scene. He designed the Onfale table lamp for the renowned Italian lighting company Artemide, which is present in over 98 countries and is known for its high-quality products.
