Two hemispherical methacrylate (acrylic) shells are superimposed, a glossy sky-blue upper dome nested over a milky-white opaline lower globe, and joined at three points with nickel-plated brass fixing screws, giving the piece its signature UFO-like silhouette.

Working in methacrylate, the material that defined Kartell’s identity in that era, he produced a family of hemispherical dome lamps in floor, table, and pendant formats, prized today for their bold, minimal geometry and saturated color combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer: Founded in 1949 by engineer Giulio Castelli, Kartell pioneered the use of industrial plastics in furniture and lighting design, collaborating with figures such as Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Gino Colombini, and Anna Castelli Ferrieri. By the 1960s the company had become synonymous with Italian design’s embrace of new materials, and pieces from this period, like the present lamp, are now recognized as icons of the movement, held in major design collections worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice is per pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Vintage Objects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55480109859157,"sku":null,"price":945.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/2091\/3749\/files\/luigi-bandini-buti-model-4021-blue-metacrilato-pendant-lamp-762.jpg?v=1792691836"},{"product_id":"large-1920s-art-deco-ring-chandelier-winkelman-van-der-bijl-amsterdam-brass-copper-glass","title":"Large 1920s art deco ring chandelier by Winkelman \u0026 van der Bijl Amsterdam, brass, copper and glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eIlluminate your space with this art deco masterpiece from the 1920s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing a stunning chandelier crafted by the renowned Winkelman \u0026amp; van der Bijl in Amsterdam during the early 1920s.
