The artworks of Italian designer Gabriella Crespi are exemplary of the 1970s. Her 'Kaleidoscope' lamp, true to its name, is composed of a diamond-shaped lampshade with fissures producing a very evocative filtered light. The piece reflects Crespi's eclectic aesthetic and strong spiritual beliefs influenced by the cosmic and futuristic qualities of simple rounded metal forms.
