In Gae Aulenti’s Pileo table lamp, two simple geometric shapes—the cylinder and the sphere—combine to create this striking design. The shade, almost like a helmet visor, can be raised and lowered to control the intensity of light the lamp emits. A striking, classic piece from La Donna of Italian Design.
