The Guzzini Kuala 70s Lamp embodies the elegance and innovative spirit of 1970s Italian design.

Produced by iGuzzini, this distinctive pendant lamp was available from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s. Its large bell-shaped conical lampshade, crafted from light ochre translucent acrylic, creates a warm and inviting ambiance, making it a striking addition to any interior space.

A chromed metal gold ball is positioned atop the lampshade enhancing the lamps aesthetic appeal but also serves as a subtle nod to the eras penchant for combining metallic accents with bold acrylic forms.

The bakelite E27 socket, another hallmark of the period, adds a touch of vintage charm while ensuring compatibility with modern light bulbs.
