Lampada stradale “Genova N. 4053”

Reason for the award:

Heir to the traditional aesthetic interest in the history of the design of street furniture, the Genova n. 4053 street lamp which was awarded the 1959 Compasso d'Oro Award, represents a particularly successful example of a standard mass-produced mechanical construction. In it, the simplicity of the analysis of the component pieces in relation to the ease of assembly, the volume and aeration of the internal parts and the effectiveness and size of the light cone are rearranged in a sensitive style while maintaining the overall continuity of the profile and volume
