About the Item

Conceived as an oversized pipe, this exceptional table lamp is a playful and highly sculptural example of Aldo Tura’s distinctive mid-century design language. Produced in Milan circa 1960, its sweeping body is crafted in wood, clad in the goatskin parchment so characteristic of Tura’s work, and finished with a deep brown lacquer that enhances its richly mottled surface. A gracefully curved ivory-toned stem rises from the pipe bowl, culminating in a small carved mouthpiece, while a gilt-brass cage supports the original plastic shade. The composition balances humor, fantasy, and refined craftsmanship, transforming a familiar everyday object into an elegant functional sculpture. A rare and striking piece of Italian design, it embodies the theatrical spirit and luxurious material sensibility that made Aldo Tura’s work so singular.

In Guadalajara he started his workshop in front of the garden of Analco, and later moved it to the street of Catalán, current Avenida Revolución. One of Odilón's hobbies was to create extraordinary and fantastic pieces. However, for years it rarely transpired to the public some of his works, because they used to model them in private and then place them on the shelves of a high room that he kept closed, almost in secret, where he used to go, perhaps, to admire himself the beauty of his creation. In the year of 1954, the Government of the State of Jalisco, granted Don Odilón Ávalos, the highest award that pays tribute and is dedicated to artists: "The Jalisco Prize."
