Stilnovo - Suitcase

The "Valigia" by Ettore Sottsass, designed for Stilnovo in 1977, is an iconic lamp that reflects the characteristic postmodern style of the Italian designer. It is a portable table lamp with a minimalist structure, composed of a rectangular base in painted metal that houses the lighting body. The main feature of the lamp is its compact and portable shape, reminiscent of a small suitcase, complete with a metal handle for easy transport.

The essential and functional design, combined with bright and contrasting colors typical of Sottsass's style, makes the lamp a distinctive piece. The diffuser is generally made of opaline plastic, which diffuses a soft and uniform light, ideal for creating accent lighting in domestic or professional environments. The "Valigia" is a perfect example of Sottsass's ability to combine playful aesthetics with practicality, breaking with the conventions of traditional design of the time.
