Italy 1970s

A rare and iconic piece of Italian lighting design, this adjustable “Giraffa” floor lamp by Sergio Moscheni for Selenova embodies the sleek futurism and sculptural clarity that defined the best of 1970s Italian modernism.

Composed of four slender chromed tubular arms rising from a luxurious solid marble base, the lamp’s signature feature is its pivoting and extendable rods, which can be arranged in countless configurations. Fully extended, the lamp becomes a dramatic horizontal light sculpture; angled upward, it takes on a striking, tree-like vertical presence—hence the name Giraffa.

Each arm is capped with a polished chrome globe housing a small light source, creating crisp points of illumination that echo the lamp’s refined architectural geometry.

The Giraffa lamp stands as a perfect example of 1970s Italian lighting design—playful yet architectural, minimal yet expressive. Rare on the market and increasingly sought after, this piece offers both sculptural presence and dynamic lighting versatility.
