Italian Mid-Century Modern Table Lighting by Gae Aulenti

First Edition Giova Table Lamp by Gae Aulenti for Fontana Arte, 1960s

The Giova lamp by Gae Aulenti is one of the most iconic pieces of Italian mid-century modern lighting. Designed in the 1960s for Fontana Arte, this sculptural lamp combines playful form with refined elegance, embodying Aulenti’s architectural approach to design.

Sculptural glass and opaline design
The light source is hidden within an opaline glass sphere, casting a soft and diffused glow. This is embraced by a clear glass bowl topped with a smoky glass half-sphere, which can be positioned in different ways to create a dynamic, playful composition.

Collectible Italian lighting
As a first edition Giova, this lamp reflects the innovation of Aulenti’s vision and the artisanal excellence of Fontana Arte. It remains a sought-after piece for collectors of vintage Italian design and a timeless addition to any interior.
