Large Gesto wall lamp by Bruno Gecchelin for Skipper. After the successful Mezzaluna series Bruno Gecchelin created Gesto in 1975. Initially it was produced as a floor lamp with a halogen bulb, later followed by various wall and ceiling versions. Early this century Italian manufacturer Ivela acquired the brand Skipper and, supervised by Bruno Gecchelin, it re-produced various versions of Gesto and Mezzaluna. The models are completely faithful to the original designs from 1975. The light bulb is halogen; this model is suitable for 300 watt.
