Italian Glass Cube Lamp Pair — Attributed to Albano Poli for Poliarte
A sculptural pair of Italian glass lamps composed of amber, orange, and smooth translucent white tiles arranged in dynamic grids. When illuminated, each lamp casts a warm, ambient glow through its textured glass — a composition that reflects Brutalist geometry with a handcrafted, mosaic-like character.
Each lamp features a distinctive tile layout: one face shows a 3×3 grid, while the adjacent side reveals a staggered 2×3 arrangement formed by the edges of adjoining blocks — creating a total of 30 individual glass tiles per lamp. This asymmetry adds depth and rhythm to the design.
The pair is attributed to Albano Poli for Poliarte, a Verona-based studio known for expressive glass lighting in the late 1960s and 1970s. These pieces are unsigned; attribution is based on comparable documented works and construction details.
Compact and versatile, the lamps work beautifully as table lights or wall-mounted accents — ideal for interiors seeking bold vintage statements.
