Gianfranco Frattini & Livio Castiglioni, “Boalum Lamp”

Designed in 1970 by Gianfranco Frattini and Livio Castiglioni for Artemide, the Boalum Lamp is a pioneering piece of modular lighting design. Its flexible tubular form, made from translucent PVC and housing a continuous light source, allows it to coil, loop, and adapt to any space. Playful yet timeless, the Boalum merges art and technology, embodying the futuristic optimism and sculptural experimentation of Italian design in the 1970s.
