King Sun Lamp - 1967 -
The King Sun Lamp is considered a prime example of the technical advancements in Italian lamp design that began in the late 1950s. By using Plexiglass (acrylic glass), it achieved both the transparency of glass and remarkable durability.
Records indicate that the King Sun Lamp was originally created for the Olivetti showrooms—famed for their typewriters—under the commission of the manufacturer Kartell.
The photo displays the white model. In a space like this, a red base might feel a bit too intense; alternatives like gold or a subtle orange would also be excellent candidates. While interior design always depends on the overall coordination, a unique piece like this can truly elevate the quality of a space.
