Italian 1980s Optical Plexiglas 'Rise & Fall' Pendant Light
A striking example of Italian Post-Modern lighting design from the 1980s.
This vintage pendant features a sophisticated "Rise & Fall" mechanism, allowing you to effortlessly adjust the drop height — pulling the shade down for intimate dining or raising it for ambient room lighting.
The defining feature is the high-quality Plexiglas shade which showcases a refined optical swirl pattern. The white-on-white graphic design creates a captivating visual texture that is subtle when unlit but dramatic when illuminated. The lamp is grounded by a distinctive tubular metal handle, typical of the functional yet sculptural aesthetic of the era.
This is a genuine vintage piece that makes a commanding centrepiece for a dining area or void, bridging the gap between Space Age curves and 80s graphic design.
Condition:
In very good vintage condition. The Plexiglas is very well-preserved. There is minor character patina to the metal fittings consistent with age, which attests to its authenticity. The pendant and coiled retraction cord functions perfectly.
Please note: This fixture requires installation by a qualified electrician. Suits B22 bulb.
