Vintage Casella Lighting Brass Floor Lamp Mid-Century Modern
Viridian Eclection
The Lamp
A polished brass floor lamp by Casella Lighting of San Francisco, drawn in a slim, streamlined silhouette.
The head is adjustable and carries a distinctive geometric textured glass diffuser, which allows the light to be aimed for reading or turned toward a wall for accent illumination. The slender stem keeps the footprint small, so the lamp suits a tight corner as readily as a larger arrangement.
The palette is brass and gold with clear glass. The lamp is functional and ready to use.
History & Provenance
Casella Lighting operated out of San Francisco, California, and was known for refined craftsmanship and restrained design in the mid century modern idiom. Its work is sought after among collectors of quality American lighting of the period.
The construction and the geometric diffuser place this lamp in the late twentieth century, around the 1970s to 1980s, when the studio was producing minimal brass fixtures that read as modern while carrying mid century proportion.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Lighting sets the character of a room more reliably than almost any other object in it. This lamp gives directed, adjustable light from a frame slim enough to disappear when it is not wanted.
It reads well in a reading corner, a home office, or a lounge where a brass note is needed against wood, leather or plaster. The geometric diffuser is the detail that marks it out from later, plainer brass lamps.
A dealer or designer would take it for the maker and for the restraint of the design, which lets it sit in a period room and a modern one with equal ease.
