Giuseppe Raimondi “Target” Floor Lamp | Italy, c. 1970s
Giuseppe Raimondi (Italian, b. 1941)
Target floor lamp, ca. 1970s
Painted metal, plastic diffuser, electric components
Manufactured in Italy
This rare floor lamp by Giuseppe Raimondi exemplifies the playful irreverence and graphic sensibility of 1970s Italian postmodernism. Modeled after a carnival-style target, the design merges high concept with pop culture reference—echoing the influence of the Memphis Group and radical design movements that redefined the role of furniture and lighting in contemporary interiors.
The lamp transforms an everyday object into a visual pun: a literal target of attention that also serves as ambient lighting. The numbered rings evoke game scoring systems, inviting reflection on value, competition, and spectacle. Raimondi’s work remains lesser-known but is increasingly recognized for its bold vision and graphic clarity.
Note: This lamp is wired with a European (Type C/E/F) plug and 220V system. An adapter or voltage converter may be required for use in regions with 110V power (such as North America). Please consult a qualified electrician if planning to rewire or modify for local use.
