The iconic adjustable lamp was designed by the famous italian architect and designer ignazio gardella in the early 1950s. The name "alzabile" means adjustable, in fact thanks to a comfortable mechanism the height can be varied according to different needs. It is a clear but highly refined example of gardella's design creativity. Materials: lacquered aluminium diffuser, brass, marble literature:domus, n. 239, ottobre 1949, p. 56a cura di m. Imparato, f.
