A rare and exquisite pendant lantern attributed to Angelo Lelli for Arredoluce, Italy, dating to the 1950s. This sculptural piece showcases the refined elegance and technical ingenuity characteristic of Lelli’s iconic lighting designs.
The lantern features a gently rounded shade crafted from satin white glass, softly diffusing light to create a warm, ambient glow. Encasing the glass is a graceful brass frame, composed of delicate, vertical ribs that accentuate the lantern’s organic, lantern-like silhouette. The brass retains its original warm patina, lending the piece a timeless quality. Suspended from a slender stem, the lamp floats with a serene presence, making it a striking focal point in any space. A masterful example of mid-century Italian modernism, this pendant embodies Arredoluce’s commitment to innovation, artistry, and refined materials. Ideal for entryways, dining rooms, or as a statement piece in a curated interior.

About the designer
Angelo Lelli (1911–1979): Master of Italian Modern Lighting
Angelo Lelli was a pioneering Italian designer and founder of Arredoluce, a leading post-war lighting company based in Monza. Established in 1947, Arredoluce became synonymous with cutting-edge design and exceptional craftsmanship under Lelli’s direction. Known for his innovative use of materials such as brass, glass, and enameled metal, Lelli created sculptural, highly functional lighting that defined mid-century Italian modernism. His designs—such as the iconic Triennale lamp—demonstrated a keen balance of form and technology.
Lelli collaborated with some of the most important figures of Italian design, including Gio Ponti, Achille Castiglioni, and Ettore Sottsass, helping to shape the international reputation of Italian lighting design. His work was regularly featured at the Milan Triennale and remains highly collectible today for its elegance, ingenuity, and timeless appeal.
