Original Splendid Floor Lamp by Martine Bedin, Italy, 1980s

Description Original Splendid floor lamp, designed and produced by Martine Bedin in 1981 for the Memphis Group, features a painted metal construction with a semi-spherical base glazed in blue and yellow-gold. A slender steel rod extends from the blue coloured base to support two light bulbs, creating a rather distinctive and sculptural presence. The Splendid lamp reflects Memphis’ approach to blending bold colors, geometric forms, and playful aesthetics within functional design objects.
