Pair of Telescopio ceiling lights by Umberto Riva for Francesconi -
Italy - 1969 - Lacquered metal and chromed metal-
As a lighting designer Riva is equally versatile by creating mysterious pieces in glass -like the Medusa and Veronese - while designing more modernist pieces in metal, like the Telescopio. The Telescopio lamp derives it's name from the fact that can be pulled out steplessly.
The lamp has an adjustable height from 100 cm to 160 cm - diam 46 cm -
