A rare 1970s Toucan Lamp designed by Enea Ferrari for Old Timer Ferrari, an iconic example of playful Italian lighting design.

This version features a vivid yellow sculptural body, bold red base, soft beige beak and graphic black eye detail, creating a striking yet balanced chromatic composition.

Originally conceived in 1970 and widely regarded as one of the earliest children-oriented design lamps, the Toucan merges sculptural form with directional light. The adjustable beak acts as a shade, softly diffusing illumination while maintaining its unmistakable silhouette.

This is an exceptionally well-preserved example, in excellent vintage condition with only minimal signs of age, free from deformation or burn marks — a rare find for collectors.

Compact yet visually impactful, the Toucan lamp works beautifully as a bedside lamp, desk accent or collectible statement piece in Space Age, pop, or mid-century interiors.

A sought-after collector’s object that embodies Ferrari’s innovative and joyful design language.

Works with one small E14 bulb, 110/220V.
European plug (adapter compatible worldwide).
