Product description
Large uplighter floor lamp model Laser by Max Buguara for the Italian company Lamperti di Robbiate, Como. The design dates from 1979 and was produced until the late 1980s. This item was purchased in 1985 from the famous Dutch lighting house Artimeta.
1980s design in optima forma, the square base, the thin stem and the diffuser are made of black metal, what makes this lamp elegant and special is the solid crystal plate of Murano glass. The glass has a size of no less than 144 cm high by 12 cm wide, the total height of the lamp is 177 cm. Like many models from this period, the luminaire is equipped with a halogen dimmable lamp.
(These can be easily replaced without modification by an energy-efficient LED lamp.) The lamp is easy to operate with the foot thanks to a handy floor switch, which has an on/off button and a roller mechanism to be able to dim the lamp.

Height 177 cm

The lamp is in a good used vintage condition and fully functional, (original light source included.) The glass is 100% okay and has no chips or cracks, the floor plate and the shade have some signs of wear appropriate to their age. It concerns some dents and paint damage, (this has been taken into account in the asking price), see photos as a reference. Overall, the lamp certainly looks good and is a real eye-catcher in any room.
The lamp is not marked but can be attributed with certainty to the designer and producer mentioned, see the Lamperti catalog on the last photos. This catalog from 1995 lists the highlights of this company from its illustrious history, some of the top designers mentioned in this catalog are; Giovanni Grignani, Studio Metis, Augusto Mandelli, Walter Selva, Davi, Max Buguara, Marco Aldegani, Davide Castiglioni, Cristina Baroni, Monica Patrini and Antonio Zambusi. Lamperti is no longer active today.
Artimeta was founded in 1960 by Floris H. Fiedeldij in Zeist. In the early years, Artimeta produced luxury lighting itself, they worked with Dutch top designers such as Aldo van de Nieuwelaar and Gijs Bakker and Mathieu Matégot from France. Artimeta quickly gained a place at the top of designer lighting. The company moved to Heerlen in the 1970s, where production by the ex-miners who were not used to this fine handicraft quickly fell apart. Artimeta stopped their own production and started importing lamps from Italian top designers. The company imported lamps made by Vistosi, Venini, Stilnovo, Lamperti, Martinelli Luce and several other well-known companies. Today, the company is still active in the higher lighting segment and is located in Amstenrade.
