CESENDELLO
A cesendello, or sanctuary lamp, has its roots in Rome and Byzantium,
and later became popular in Venice and the Muslim world.
The profile of this elegant spiral structure recalls the twist of a turban.
The refined silhouette represents the synthesis of the Oriental
and Renaissance themes present in Venice as early as the 15th century.
Cesendello floor lamp design of Mariano Fortuny’s was probably the first
electric floor lamp.
The elegant Cesendello silhouette is enhanced by the fabric-covered
stand, which has delightful inlays.
