STILNOVO BUONANOTTE 8961, 8962, 8963, 8964 table lamp E14 ball

Description:

STILNOVO BUONANOTTE 8961, 8962, 8963, 8964 is more than just a table lamp – it is a fascinating journey to the golden age of Italian design. Designed in 1965 by Giovanni Luigi Gorgoni, this iconic lighting fixture returns to the market as a faithful re-edition, combining historical form with modern manufacturing precision. It is the ideal choice for a bedside table, a stylish dresser, or as a distinct accent in the living room of a vintage and modern classic style enthusiast.

The lamp that wishes you "goodnight"

The name of the lamp – Buonanotte (Italian for "goodnight") – perfectly reflects its unique functionality. Gorgoni created an object that interacts with the user, accompanying them in the ritual of falling asleep or changing the mood in the interior. The key to its uniqueness is the mechanical light regulation system:

• Open mode: Two metal quarter-spheres are slid open, revealing the glass diffuser. The lamp then emits bright, diffused light, ideal for reading.
• Closed mode: By rotating the colored shades, you can gradually cover the lamp's "eye." Completely closing the shades mutes the light, leaving only a subtle glow penetrating through the slits, symbolizing the closing of eyelids before sleep.

This brilliant solution allows for a fluid change of atmosphere without the need for electronic dimmers.

Materials and workmanship quality

The Buonanotte lamp represents the aesthetics of the 60s, balancing between the rigor of functionalism and the joy of Pop Art style. The quality of materials used places it at the forefront of premium lighting.

• Glass diffuser (shade): The heart of the lamp is a sphere made of white duplex glass. It is a noble, double-layered, mouth-blown glass that ensures perfectly milky, soft light diffusion. Thanks to this, the bulb is invisible, and the lamp does not cause a glare effect.
• Metal body: The shades and base are made of lacquered metal. The finish is smooth, durable, and deeply saturated with color.
• Compact form: Thanks to its spherical shape, the lamp is stable and takes up little space, while maintaining a sculptural character.

Available colors (original Stilnovo palette)

The model comes in four historical finishes that allow matching the lamp to any interior character:

• Red – adds energy and constitutes a strong visual focal point.
• White – classic elegance, ideal for minimalist bedrooms.
• Yellow – introduces optimism and the warmth of a sunny day.
• Blue – a color of peace, conducive to relaxation and harmony.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is the bulb included?

Yes, the bulb is included in the set.

How does Duplex glass differ from ordinary glass?

Duplex glass consists of two layers fused together during the blowing process. Thanks to this, it is more durable and, above all, provides much better, more even light dispersion than ordinary painted or sandblasted glass.
