MATTEO THUN (Bolzano, Italy, 1952) for Bieffeplast. Pair of "Topolino" table lamps, 1980s. Metal, chrome plated, glass.
Est: €1,600 - €1,800
MATTEO THUN (Bolzano, Italy, 1952) for Bieffeplast. Pair of "Topolino" table lamps, 1980s. Metal, chrome plated, glass. Electrical characteristics: European plug (220-240 V) / GR10Q neon bulb. With Bieffeplast label. It presents a slight wear, according to its age and use. Measurements: 35 x 37 x 11 cm. The most distinctive feature of the Topolino lamp is its anthropomorphic appearance, as it is reminiscent of a small character - hence its name, "little mouse" in Italian - with a sort of head (the light) and body (the structure), combining an industrial language with a playful, ironic and sculptural approach typical of the Memphis environment, making it both a functional object and a design piece with a strong personality. Matteo Thun was an Italian architect and designer trained at the Salzburg Academy with Oskar Kokoschka and later graduated from the University of Florence. In 1978 he moved to Milan, met Ettore Sottsass and in 1981 co-founded Sottsass Associati and the Memphis Group. In 1984 he founded his own studio and worked for Swatch, of which he was artistic director from 1990 to 1993.
