Luigi Massoni designed the floor lamp, ‘Lucerna,’ one of his many iconic lighting devices, in 1966. It was in production until 1976, and was made in two sizes, with two different bases, and in several colours. The lamps were marketed by Harvey Guzzini (now iGuzzini) and MEBLO. The piece in our collection was donated to the Museum by photographer Dávid Kovács.
