Notes
The KD 27 modular lamp, designed by Italian architect and designer Joe Colombo in1967, was one of his most iconic Space Age designs.
This lamp reflects the futuristic aesthetics synonymous with Italian design of the period and exemplifies his pioneering use of new technology and materials, particularly injection-moulded plastics.
His lighting remains highly collectable within the vintage design market.
