White Catellani & Smith Original PostKrisi F64 Fiberglass Floor Lamp

Product Description

A real statement piece finished in frilly fiberglass and slender metal. This original Catellani & Smith PostKrisi F64 floor lamp is the perfect shop stopper. Designed due to a fascination in fiberglass and how light diffuses through it; this remarkable piece comprises of two half spheres on the slight metal stem.

Catellani is known for designing and producing his own work and it is well documented as to how and why this particular piece was inspired and constructed. The inspiration saw a wall and hanging ceiling light be produced with the floor lamp to create a very unique and much sought after collection.

Individual Characteristics

The lamp is a used example and does display some signs as such. The fronds may show some slight splitting in some small areas, but the hemispheres are very well intact. The base also shows some signs of use, but a good clean and polish will help its appearance.

The lamp was sourced from the US and so will need to be converted for UK/EU purposes; the plug as seen in the images is for the US.

Lamp dimensions: 190cm h x 60cm d (shade), base 25cm x 25cm

The stamp on the metal footswitch confirms the lamps originality.

Investment Details

Catellani rather exploded onto the scene and it is very easy to see why. His work revolutionised the lighting market and was instantly a success and this has continued to be the case. The PostKrisi series saw the transition from more traditional materials to slightly more obscure and this fascination was quickly absorbed by Catellani’s customers. Though still being produced today; earlier examples of this piece such as this one should see a potential level of collector’s interest in the future.
