Small Floor Lamp Model 597

First released in 1961, the MODEL 597 by Italian virtuoso Gianfranco Frattini is the lamp that established him as a lighting designer. Its distinctive and playful form perfectly embodies Frattini's remarkable approach to the aesthetics of light. The lamp's signature fabric fringes draw inspiration from both the world of fashion and the fringed entrance curtains commonly seen in Italian bars and grocery stores in the late 1950s. Thanks to its array of lateral bulbs, MODEL 597 casts a 360º play of indirect light, softened by the fringes to create a rich ambient glow, while the reflective aluminium cover enhances the uplight's warmth. Light-hearted in expression yet serious in function, MODEL 597 brings sophistication, charm, and character to interiors without relying on unnecessary decorative flourishes. The floor lamp has a toggle switch on the cable, to switch it on and off.
