1970s Italian Design Classic: Angelo Mangiarotti's Molla Lamps
Angelo Mangiarotti, a 20th-century Italian architect and industrial designer, liked industrial materials and had a sense of humor. Both are embodied in these Molla lamps, designed in 1974. The construction of the Slinky-like lamp couldn't be simpler: It consists of little more than a spring ("molla," in Italian) and an E27 socket. I bet shipping them was easy.The pieces were in production by Italian lighting manufacturer Candle.
