I don't always trust the info out there, but there seems to be a lot of sites/sellers attributing these designs. Let me know if you find some hard info as I'd love to see.<br />Thanks, DavidA Modern Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622051392240072802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909174152211104663.post-41270508652669530092013-08-21T04:58:29.128-04:002013-08-21T04:58:29.128-04:00Hi... do you know of any documents from the period...Hi... do you know of any documents from the period which link Tempestini to the design of this lamp or any affiliation with the Laurel Lamp Company? As you note, he dies in 1960 (July) yet the design of the lamp clearly owes its inspiration to the post 1965 era. I've researched his work in the U.S. (he was a life long resident of Italy) and consistently find only references for his designs for Salterini (furniture 1950-1960) and Lightolier (Lighting and showroom design 1951-1960). I'm always looking to learn of documented examples of Tempestini's work from primary source material from the period.

But it has a white base and they painted it ugly brown. I'll be restoring this piece very soon.<br /><br />Thanks! SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
