265 wall lamp with metal plug by Paolo Rizzatto

The "265" wall lamp was created in 1973 by architect and designer Paolo Rizzatto. Its perfectly functionalist look and strictly formal humility give an impression of aesthetic neutrality. Having become a design classic, this industrial-style wall lamp has not finished standing the test of time!

The "265" lamp consists of a head and a weight, each balanced at the ends of an adjustable arm fixed to the wall. For Paolo Rizzatto, the goal of this object is to "Contribute to improving the human experience of an architectural space." He defines his approach as belonging to the field of architecture: "As an architect, I work with the concept of composition: everything I design is made up of several parts; my work consists of identifying each of the elements of a project and assembling them in a harmonious and logical way."
