Italian 1970s ceramic table lamp with velvet shade

Mid-century Italian ceramic lighting with pink base

This Italian 1970s ceramic table lamp features a rounded base finished in a textured pink glaze, crowned with a striking deep navy velvet shade. The warm tones of the ceramic body contrast beautifully with the dark shade, giving this piece a refined and sculptural presence. Both functional and decorative, it captures the elegance of mid-century Italian lighting design.

Style and interior application

With its bold colour contrast and timeless proportions, this lamp sits perfectly in retro interiors, mid-century modern settings, or as a statement bedside or side table light. The textured ceramic surface adds depth and uniqueness, while the velvet shade provides a sense of luxury and sophistication.

Design context and materials

Italian ceramic lamps of the 1970s often embraced experimental glazes, bold textures, and high-contrast pairings. This lamp reflects that spirit with its handcrafted pink ceramic body and luxurious velvet shade, merging tactile craftsmanship with mid-century modern aesthetics. It is a versatile accent piece that enhances both contemporary and classic interiors.
