Description
Francesco Messina Plinio Floor lamp Stone and resin Date of creation: 2024 H165 D75 cm The ‘Plinio Lamp’ pays tribute to the ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder on the 2000th anniversary of his birth. This lamp embodies this dramatic event in a captivating design. Designed to reflect the spectacular eruption, the lamp emits a celestial glow from its cloud-like summit, evoking volcanic ash and lava flows. Its sturdy base, made of natural basalt, symbolises the enduring strength of the volcano, whilst above, a mushroom-shaped plume, crafted from resin and cement, captures the explosive moment of the eruption. Each ‘Plinio Lamp’ is a unique work of art, composed of hand-selected basalt stones, meticulously crafted to replicate the structure of Vesuvius, and a cloud treated with volcanic ash that lends it authenticity and texture. This exceptional collector’s piece goes beyond mere lighting, harmoniously combining functionality and artistic expression. Part sculpture, part installation, this lamp is one of a kind.
