STILNOVO MEGAFONO 9576, 9577 is a lighting masterpiece that transports us to the golden age of Italian design. This impressive pendant lamp is a faithful re-edition of the iconic 1958 project, combining the nostalgic aesthetic of the 1950s with modern manufacturing precision. It is a proposition for connoisseurs who seek not only function in lighting but, above all, history, authenticity, and noble materials.
The return of a legend: design that defines space
The Megafono model owes its name to its characteristic shades, which resemble the shape of traditional megaphones. This unique construction is not merely a stylistic choice, but primarily a highly functional engineering solution. The lamp offers double light emission, making it extremely versatile:
- Direct light: The lower cones direct the beam of light downwards, perfectly illuminating a dining table, kitchen island, or central seating area.
- Indirect light: The upper cones cast a soft glow onto the ceiling, which optically enlarges the interior, eliminates shadows, and builds a moody, intimate atmosphere.
The heart of the structure is a central body made of solid brass, subjected to a process of galvanic gold plating. Unlike cheaper imitations painted with paint, Stilnovo’s galvanized gold possesses exceptional depth, a luxurious luster, and is extremely durable, not tarnishing over the years.
Available color variants
The lamp comes in two sophisticated shade finishes that contrast perfectly with the gold, brass body:
- Black: The deep, matte black of the shades combined with shiny gold creates a composition full of elegance and drama. It is an excellent choice for loft interiors, eclectic spaces, and those maintained in a modern classic style.
- Ivory: The noble shade of ivory introduces lightness, calm, and warmth to the interior. This variant fits perfectly into bright living rooms, vintage styles, and Scandinavian arrangements with a retro touch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What bulbs are best for the Megafono lamp?
We recommend using LED bulbs with an E14 thread of the "Miniglobe" type (small ball P45) with a warm light color (2700K or 3000K). Filament bulbs (with a visible filament) will additionally highlight the vintage character of the lamp and will be consistent with its history.
Is the height of the lamp adjustable?
Yes, the lamp is supplied with a power cord and a steel support cable. Their length can be shortened during installation, precisely adjusting the suspension height of the lamp to the volume of the room and the height of the ceiling.
Does the lamp provide a lot of light?
Yes, thanks to the use of as many as 6 light points, the lamp generates a large amount of light and can successfully serve as the main lighting in a room with an area of 20-30 m². The use of double shades ensures that the light is evenly distributed throughout the room (up and down).
How to clean brass elements?
Elements with a galvanic gold finish should be cleaned exclusively with a soft, dry cloth (e.g., microfiber) to remove dust. One must absolutely avoid aggressive chemical agents, alcohol, or rough sponges, which could permanently damage the noble gold coating.
