First launched in 1961, Italian virtuoso Gianfranco Frattini's Model 597is the lamp that launched him as a lighting designer. Its playful unique shape perfectly encapsulates Frattini's extraordinary approach to the aesthetics of light. The 597's unique nylon bangs are inspired la by the world of mode and the fringed entrance curtains commonly found in Italian bars and grocery stores la in the late 1950s.

Thanks to la range of side bulbs, the table lamps emit a 360 play of indirect light, softened by the bangs to crer a rich ambient glow, while the reflective aluminum cover adds warmth to the upward lighting. Model 597is light in expression, but serious in functionality - bringing sophistication, fun and caractre to interiors without resorting to superfluous decorative flourishes.
