The Space Age style from the 1950s to the 1970s swept through architecture, home décor, and fashion, embodying a futuristic aesthetic based on humanity’s visual imagination of space.

This Alba floor lamp was designed by Sergio Brazzoli and Ermanno Lampa in 1973 for Harvey Guzzini. It is a classic piece that combines the Space Age style of the 1970s with minimalism. Featuring smooth, curved contours and a timeless black-and-white contrast, it is an ideal addition to modern home décor.

“Alba” means “sunrise” in Italian, perfectly reflecting the lamp’s design aesthetic: an integrated, streamlined shape with a lampshade that offers excellent directional lighting. Its black cast-iron base and subtle rear details emphasize its rounded curves, adding a striking, sculptural elegance to the overall design.

The Alba lamp was produced only between 1973 and 1976, with limited production and availability. This specific model, 4510, bears the vintage Harvey Guzzini logo, indicating it is an early version from 1973. The black-and-white contrast version is particularly rare in the market, making it highly collectible.
