Set of 4 “Garbo” ceiling lights by Mario Yagi for Sirrah, 1970s
This iconic set of 4 ceiling lights, model "Garbo", was designed by the Italian-Japanese designer Mario Yagi in 1975 for Sirrah, the lighting company founded by Dino Gavina.
With this lamp, Yagi started from an everyday object like the curtain, reworking it and transforming it into a true lighting and sculptural element. A diffuser made of strings of heat-resistant synthetic fabric is attached to a lacquered metal body fixed to the ceiling, onto which three E14 lamp holders are grafted.
Just like curtains, the ‘Garbo’ lamp can be a partition between spaces, or a strong decorative element. The set of four we offer for sale, with descending shade lengths, is perfect for installation on a staircase, or in different rooms, or even in several places in the same room.
They remain in very good vintage conditions, with small wear to the varnished metal body (hidden by the fabric when installed), and they retain the manufacturer's original label.
