Mariano Fortuny (attrib) art deco design Floor Lamp
This art deco or art nouveau floor lamp was designed by Mariano Fortuny in 1923. It features an adjustable reflector to direct light. The lamp is also able to extend. This particular lamp is perhaps one of the most iconic of Fortuny’s range.
Mariano Fortuny was born in Granada, Spain in 1871. His career as a designer was diverse as first he painted, then created textiles and other materials. In 1901 Fortuny’s creative nature led him to the lighting design. His lighting designs decorated many museums and other buildings throughout Europe. Perhaps his most famous quote "It is not the quantity, but the quality of light, that makes things visible" is a principal still followed in interior design.
Made in Italy.
