This largest version of the Harvey Guzzini Elpis lamp is a striking example of late 1960s Italian lighting design, first introduced in 1968. With its wide acrylic mushroom-shaped shade and weighted chrome base, it casts warm and diffuse light. The silver chrome base subtly reflects the colors and tones of its surroundings, allowing the lamp to integrate beautifully into a variety of interiors — from eclectic and mid-century modern to more contemporary and minimalist settings.
The generous proportions make it ideal for placement on a stylish sideboard or console to be fully appreciated. Its mix of materials - polished chrome and acrylic white shade - captures the spirit of modern Italian design of the era.
The lamp is in very good vintage condition, stable and complete, with some very light signs of age on the chrome in the form of minor spots and faint corrosion. These details are consistent with an 1970s piece and do not detract from its overall impression. The base is extra weighted, ensuring excellent stability.
A true design classic from Harvey Guzzini, the Elpis remains a versatile and timeless lighting piece that works effortlessly across styles.
This is the larger model (there was also a smaller version of this lamp 31 cm tall). This one measures 41 cm high by 48 cm wide, and is equipped with an E27 socket for up to 60W bulbs (any type). The original product code 4035 which is one of the identification marks of this piece, is still visible on the label.
