About the Item

Iconic floor lamp model "Ponte," designed by the A.R.D.I.T.I. Group and produced by Sormani around 1970. The lamp is distinguished by its spectacular arched structure composed of two parallel chrome-plated metal tubes that connect two marble bases, creating a real luminous "bridge" in space. Along the arc run lampholder elements with two-color diffuser spheres, featuring a dark upper cap and an opaline lower diffuser. The modular system allows the position of the light globes to be adjusted along the arc, while each diffuser can rotate on its own axis, allowing for variable and scenic light distribution. Power is supplied via low voltage conducted by the parallel metal tubes, an advanced technical solution for the time. The model represents an emblematic example of radical Italian design in the early 1970s, in which formal research, modularity, and technological innovation come together in an object with a strong sculptural presence. The A.R.D.I.T.I. Group (an acronym formed from the initials of the founding members) was a collective of Italian designers active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a period characterized by intense experimentation in industrial design. The group devoted itself to the development of innovative lighting solutions, often based on modular structures and adjustable systems, with a focus on the integration of architecture and light. Their projects reflect the experimental approach typical of Italian design at the time, in which technology, movement and transformability become central elements of the domestic object. Founded in Arosio in the 1960s, Sormani was one of the most active Italian companies in the production of designer furniture and lighting during the Italian design boom. The company collaborated with numerous designers and design groups, distinguishing itself through production characterized by modern lines, innovative materials and a strong focus on industrial quality. Sormani creations are now sought after by collectors for their role in the international dissemination of Italian design of the 1960s and 1970s.
